Finally, the Perfect Image Compression Plugin!
by SHAO·6 months ago·1 reply
I’ve been searching for a truly reliable image compression plugin for a long time, and I finally found it in Squeeze. What I love most is that it doesn’t consume any server resources—the compression happens right in the user’s browser. On top of that, it uses well-established open-source encoder technology, which makes the whole process both efficient and trustworthy. This plugin has completely solved an issue that has bothered me for years. Huge thanks to Bogdan Bendziukov for creating such a high-quality plugin!
Exceptional Image Compression Plugin for WordPress
by kriskorn·10 months ago·1 reply
I have been searching for a great image compression plugin for WordPress for over a year and I finally found it. When someone is looking for an image compression plugin, they most likely want smallest file size with best quality. That is why I think Squeeze is the best image compression plugin for WordPress at the moment. I tried so many different tools and services to see what would yield the best results for me and Squeeze came out on top.
I had very simple feature requirements:
- Resize ( Premium feature in Squeeze. )
- Convert to
.webp - Compress
Although the resize feature requires purchasing the premium version, it is a no brainer for the price it is being sold.
Highlights
- The plugin comes with sensible defaults and anyone can change them with simple inputs.
- The compression algorithms have fantastic quality.
- You do not have to connect your website to a third-party service and pay per compression. That is all free and happens in your browser.
- You can backup original images.
In conclusion, I rarely write raving reviews and have done so only a couple of times in the past for WordPress plugins, but Squeeze definitely deserves the recognition. (:

I’ve been waiting for a plugin that can leverage Squoosh compression for years! I’m impressed!
If I had one feature request it would be auto resizing to a specific set of dimensions like in Squoosh 🙂
Works great
