Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about W3ctrl Smart Image Optimizer

No. Optimization happens on the WordPress server. Optional Cloudflare purge (off by default) only sends image URLs when you enable it and save your own Cloudflare credentials.

That image is marked as failed or skipped. Bulk optimization continues with the rest of the queue.

Yes, if original backups are enabled. Use Restore on the plugin Media screen, in the Media Library, or wp sio restore <id>.

Yes. The plugin does not require either one. It optimizes Media Library attachments that those plugins use, and WebP/AVIF delivery wraps standard WordPress image tags.

Settings and cron events are always removed. Statistics and backup files are removed only if you enable Delete data on uninstall. Media Library images are never deleted.
