Image Optimizer for Magento 2

There are 3 simple ways to change image size for Magento 2, including changing product images in the HelloWorld block and in the template file, and using a third-party image optimizer extension.
Since the first 2 methods require technical knowledge, we recommend you apply the 3rd option. You can refer to the Image Optimizer extension by Mageplaza - an easy-to-use and effective image compress solution.

Mageplaza's Magento 2 Image Optimizer is a must-have extension for speeding up your online store by optimizing images. It helps to lighten your website images dramatically (up to 75%) without sacrificing quality. The extension supports multiple image formats (JPG, PNG, GIF, etc.) and offers both automatic and manual optimization options.

Here are the key benefits of the Image Optimizer extension by Mageplaza:
- Speed up your website's loading time, providing a better experience for customers
- Improve SEO performance to attract more new customers
- Allow to schedule image optimization in batches, saving you time and effort
- Support resizing images of various formats

Image Optimizer supports the most popular image types including PNG, JPG, GIF, TIF, BMQ, TIFF and JPEG.

You can compress images without losing quality. We offer you 2 options: Lossless and Lossy.
- Lossless: Retain image quality while reducing the file size
- Lossy: Reduce filesizes significantly but reduce image resolution

The module only optimizes your site's images. It doesn't change your images' format or resolution. This brings us to the best practices regarding images and the web. To solve this problem, prepare your images properly for Google PageSpeed Insights. Choose the right format: GIF for a few colors, JPG for many colors, and PNG for accurate transparency. Also, ensure optimal resolution; resize images to actual display size, then use our extension to optimize. Then, you'll pass Google PageSpeed Insights.

Separating directories makes scanning quicker and more targeted. Some directories require original images with full quality will not be considered in the optimization process. Also, this separation allows store admins to specify included directories for scanning images and excluded directories to skip during the scan.

This happens when a batch of images contains many very large photos, causing script execution optimization to fail due to memory and time constraints. To resolve this, reduce the "Limit Number of Images" option to 10. In certain situations, especially with very large photos and specific server settings, set the "Limit Number of Images" to 1. Once you've optimized these large photos, you can set the default limits back to normal.

Yes, this extension is well-compatible with other extension of Mageplaza including: SEO Extension, Magento 2 Mass Product Actions, Product Attachments, Blog Extension

Don't worry! After the image optimizing process, our extension doesn't replace your image path. It will be kept unchanged.
