Features

The feature list from the plugin's own readme on WordPress.org, trimmed to the essentials.

  • Modern formats: new uploads are saved as AVIF or WebP (when your server supports them), JPEG otherwise
  • Compression levels: Best, Balanced, Smallest, or your own number, tuned per format
  • Largest size: oversized photos are scaled down to what your site actually shows
  • Your whole library: the Library screen finds heavy, oversized and badly compressed images and optimizes them in the background, one at a time
  • Dashboard widget: what can still be optimized and how much it saves, with a one-click Optimize button
  • TIFF to web: print TIFFs become images browsers can show (when your server’s image library reads TIFF)
  • Replace originals (optional): free disk space by keeping only the optimized file, and only when it is smaller
  • Safe on small servers: photos too big for your server’s memory are stored as uploaded instead of crashing the upload, and ImageMagick gets a memory budget…

  • Excellent image compression for WordPress

    TheDock Media is a great plugin for optimizing images in WordPress by converting them to modern AVIF and WebP formats. It helps reduce image file sizes, improve website performance, and speed up page loading without unnecessarily compromising image quality. A simple and effective solution for anyone looking to improve website performance and Core Web Vitals.

  • Easy to use and great results

    One of the main bottlenecks in the custom themes we build almost always eventually end up being the images uploaded by our clients. While we could limit the uploaded media size or even avoid for instance PNG’s altogether, many of our clients need more flexibility in their media library. With TheDock Media we can let our clients upload any image they want in the back-end and still get great compression on the front-end.
