Overview

IBIC (In Browser Image Compression) compresses your images in your browser.

Useful for websites on shared hosting where no extra image libraries can be installed.

Why should you reduce images file size:

  • faster page load
  • improve your SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

Troubleshooting

I can’t see the image compression progress in the Media section

Please check that there is no error in the IBIC plugin section of the Site Health page:
/wp-admin/site-health.php?tab=debug
