Funktioniert wie beschrieben – Heimvorteil weil von WordPress entwickelt

Ich nutze dieses Plugin auf allen neuen Webseiten, damit Bilder automatisch nach AVIF konvertiert werden. Es funktionierte bisher immer ohne Probleme, deshalb kann ich es uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Ic

Image Bloat

I really like the idea of this plugin but my site suffered significant “bloat” because of the variety of image sizes that the plugin made of each upload. Now, I get error warnings when using Duplicato
