Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ImageRecycle pdf & image compression

The plugin will send your media on our cloud optimizer, then replace the original image with the optimized image. Our server is a dedicated high-speed server that host the optimization algorithm. Like some others plugin we don't do any optimization process on YOUR server, it would be either not very efficient or it would slow down a lot your server.

Yes, we keep a backup of your original files during one month on a dedicated storage server. You can revert your original files in one click during this month. Like some others plugin we don't use YOUR server to do backup, it slow down your website and charge your server with unnecessary media.

It depends on the compression you need. Best saving has a better compression level than lossless compression. The resulting image is not 100% identical with the original even if most of the time it's not visible. Globally use Best saving for a final usage of your image and Original quality if you've planned to make treatment later images (with Photoshop for example). I don't want to optimize all my media or not at the same quality You can exclude some media from optimization with a server folder exclusion. Plus, each media optimization has a setting of quality of compression. * JPG image optimization: Best saving (lossy), Original quality (lossless), No compression * PNG image optimization: Best saving (lossy), Original quality (lossless), No compression * GIF image optimization: Best saving (lossy), Original quality (lossless), No compression * PDF image optimization: Best saving (lossy), Original quality (lossless), No compression

Yes, there a trial version during 15 days for 100MB of media optimization available. Just register an account from the plugin after install and start image optimization.

It's possible of course and there's a special tool for that. To make image optimization you got a main account with a key and secret. From the website you can create free and unlimited sub accounts with, if you want, a limited quota. Or you can just use your main account key and secret on all your website, it's up to you :)

ImageRecycle Image and PDF Optimizer uses advanced algorithm to optimize images. The algorithm is hosted on a high-speed dedicated server. The API key and secret are like a login that control that you are allowed to use this server.

To get your API key, just create a free account from the plugin (key is added automatically) or create one from www.imagerecycle.com. After a key and secret are added image optimization can start and available quota is displayed in Setting > ImageRecycle menu

Yes, privacy is a priority. The ImageRecycle server encryption doesn't allow anyone to access your media.

Yes, the pdf & image optimization will be done without interfering with the CDN.

Sure, and it's even recommended to use one to speed up even more your WordPress install!
