helpful
The plugin worked good and I've been using it for two years. Some of it's functions are basic and it does rename images, which has been a nuisance for me. I had to use another plugin - Media file rename to remove wsi-imageoptim- prefix from filenames (Google uses image filenames for indexing). But there is a saying: you don't look in teeth a horse which was given to you for free. Therefore three stars.

Changed all image file names + weird redirects
I can't recommend this plugin as it changed lots of file names and duplicated images. With some regex I managed to get rid of some of its damage, but with large sites this would have been a nightmare I would say avoid this plugin to be safe, there are better plugins out there for image compressions

even do not try this plugin!!
ImageOptim API working fine - but plugin with his functionality can destroy your project data integrity

Needs major improvements
Although the intention of this plug-in is excellent (i.e. make ImageOptim image optimisation available within WordPress), the implementation has huge room for improvement. For example, if you use the "Regenerate Retroactive" button (the only button it has) there's no way to stop the process, or be selective about it, and it gives no data on what it's achieved with each image. Let's call it "Very very basic.". Too basic, for my liking. The sum total of what the user is presented with is, There are no options to selectively optimise images in the Media library. As far as I can tell, the only functionality it has is the above mentioned one-click does them all.

very bad if u unistall
installed this plugin to try it out, decided that it doesn't help me, since i had my images already compressed, so no reduction in size, therefore i had it uninstalled. problem is all images are not reversed to the originals. yes, i kept the originals, but the paths doesn't change to originals.
