  • Easy, quick, perfect for my purpose!

    I was looking for a way to inside optimize the size of images on my website (.png to .webp) and found this plugin. Quick installation, easy to use. Just a link next to the media file. The bulk conversion didn't work, so I wrote to the developer. He helped and fixed the problem quickly. Richard handled my problem with understanding and support, so I only get 5*. Thank you!

    You know when you follow instructions and none of these instructions are available to only pay for premium version, such a wate of time
