How to compress image size in wordpress

When we write a blog post, adding an appropriate picture will make the article more colorful, commonly known as "pictures and text". However, have you ever found that many articles on your website are very slow to open? This is often because the images are too large and are holding them back. Therefore, it is very important to reduce the size of the images, but if you have to manually resize the images every time, then Publishing, that would be too much trouble.

Today, I will recommend 2 plug-ins that automatically compress image size.

WP Smush

WP SmushPlugin address: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-smushit/

You can directly search for the plug-in in the WordPress background and activate it after installation. The plug-in is also very simple to use. Let’s mainly look at the compression effect.

The first thing to note is that the plug-ins introduced today are all free, but there is a pro paid version that can provide more powerful functions.

For the WP Smush plug-in, the free version supports compression of images below 1MB. Of course, it is also useful for previously published articles.

The right side of the picture above is the compression effect of this plug-in, 2.9%, which can only be described as cheating. It is better not to compress it at all. Maybe switching to the pro version will have a larger compression ratio, but I guess no one wants to try it.

EWWW Image Optimizer

This plug-in is rarely discussed on the Internet, but it has a very high rating in the official WordPress plug-in library, so I downloaded it. Give it a try.
