Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ITBoffins Image Scout

No. All compression and WebP conversion happens on your own server using PHP's GD or Imagick libraries. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Your server's image library was compiled without WebP support. The plugin will still compress your JPEGs and PNGs — it just won't be able to generate WebP files until your host enables WebP in GD or Imagick. Ask your host, or contact us.

The plugin rewrites images that pass through WordPress's normal content and featured-image filters. Some builder, theme, CDN, or CSS background images may not pass through those filters, so use Media → Bulk Optimise → Scan entire uploads folder to make WebP files for hidden upload-folder images too. CSS background images cannot use the <picture> element and so cannot be swapped this way. Some images don't have a WebP version at all The bulk optimiser only processes images in your Media Library. Page-builder template images and theme images often live in your uploads folder without being Library attachments, so they never get a WebP. Use Media → Bulk Optimise → Scan entire uploads folder to generate WebP for every image file on disk, Library or not.

You can set the JPEG and WebP quality on the settings page. The default (82 / 80) is visually lossless for most photos. Optional backups can be enabled if you want one-click restore; new installs keep backups off by default.

WebP is delivered with a standard <picture> element in your HTML, so it is compatible with most page caches. If your CDN rewrites image URLs to a different domain, automatic WebP delivery may not apply to those URLs.

PNGs are kept lossless (true lossy PNG compression requires external tools that aren't available on most hosts). The biggest win for PNGs comes from the WebP copy, which is usually much smaller.
