Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Shrinkwell Image Optimizer

No. It uses the image editor available on your WordPress server, usually GD or Imagick.

Yes, when the current server passes the local AVIF encoder and safety checks. AVIF can be slower and heavier than WebP on shared hosting, so Shrinkwell skips files that exceed safe local processing limits instead of risking timeouts.

Yes. The plugin creates backup files when "Keep backups for restore" is enabled, and optimized items get a "Restore original" action in the Media Library.

The standard SEO check only reports missing alt text and weak filenames so you can review changes manually.
