Frequently asked questions.
Does this plugin use regex to modify images?
No! We use WordPress’s native wp_content_img_tag filter introduced in WordPress 5.5, which is the safe and recommended way to modify content images.
Can I optimize more than one image?
Yes! You can configure how many images to optimize in the plugin settings.
Is the image sitemap using WordPress’s native API?
Absolutely! We extend WP_Sitemaps_Provider and integrate directly with WordPress’s built-in sitemap system.
