What is an image credit?

Each “Credit” can optimize one full size image uploaded to your media library and all of its generated thumbnails or alternate sizes.

Do I need a Membership?

You can get one time credit packs with no limits; however, we recommend a membership for agencies as monthly credits work best for setting client quotas.

What plan is the best value?

We’ve calculated the effective rate as number of images per $1 USD to help clarify which plans are the best value. By default annual plans will have the highest number of images per dollar as we include two months free and a hefty starter bonus to help optimize existing images.

Are thumbnails really free?

Yes, thumbnails come free! It takes on average 12 credits from our competitors to optimize the identical image – making each WP Compress credit 12x more efficient.

How many images do I need?

Check the existing number of images in your media library in list mode, then set a quota of at least 100 new images each month per linked website. 

Memberships vs Credit Packs

Memberships are a monthly allocation of images, think about it like your cell phone data plan while credit packs are a one-time credit boost, great for optimizing existing images. The best value is to get an annual membership with a starter bonus for optimizing existing images.

How does the plugin work?

Your images are securely backed up and optimized in the compression cloud, then only the smaller, light-weight images are served to your viewers.

What happens to the originals?

We securely back them up in the cloud to be replaced with the smaller optimized versions. At any time you may restore a single image or all images to the original state.

How does Autopilot Work?

Autopilot checks your website multiple times a day for newly added images and optimizes them with your current settings. It’s “smarter” than on-upload as everything happens off peak and in the background to not slow you down while uploading images and editing your site.

How many websites can I link?

With any account you can link an unlimited number of websites, the only factor you need to account for is how you plan on allocating credits. 

How do Monthly Quotas work?

Each month the linked website can optimize images according to the quota you set when linking your website. You can modify it at anytime within the portal.

What if I deactivate the plugin?

Your images will stay in the optimized form, before deactivating you can restore at anytime if you’d like them to be the original. Once you’re deactivated for an extended period of time then your backups will be deleted, so we recommend keeping the plugin active at all times.
