Short Pixel uses minimal resources and works well with any shared, cloud, VPS or dedicated web hosting. It can optimize any image you have on your website even the images that aren’t listed in Media Library like those in galleries like NextGEN, Modula or added directly via FTP!

Both lossy and lossless image compression are available for the most common image types (JPG, PNG, GIF and WebP) plus PDF files.
We also offer glossy JPEG compression which is a very high quality lossy optimization algorithm. Specially designed for photographers!
Optimized images mean better user experience, better PageSpeed Insights or GTmetrix results, better Google PageRank and more visitors.

Actions and Filters for Developers

The ShortPixel Image Optimiser plugin calls the following actions and filters:

upon successful optimization;

before restoring an image from backup;

after succesful restore;

Apple disk utility download. just before returning the ShortPixel backup folder, usually /wp-content/uploads/ShortpixelBackups. The $sizes are the sizes array from metadata;

post ID is not always set, only if it’s an image from Media Library;

filters the URLs that will be sent to optimisation, $URLs is a plain array;

the $chunk is the value ShortPixel chooses to use as number of selected records in one query (based on total table size), some hosts work better with a different value;

filters the array of paths of the images sent for backup and can be used to exclude certain paths/images/thumbs from being backed up, based on the image path. $mainPath is the path of the main image, while $PATHs is an array with all files to be backed up (including thumbnails);

filters the array ($sizes) of image sizes which can be excluded from processing (displayed in the plugin Advanced settings).

In order to define custom thumbnails to be picked up by the optimization you have two options, both comma separated defines:

will handle custom thumbnails like image-100x100_tl.jpg;

will handle custom thumbnails like image-uae-100×100.jpg;

will tell the plugin to create double extensions for the WebP image counterparts, for example image.jpg.webp for image.jpg;

don’t use flock queue, only activate this when you have flock() denied errors on your installation;

adds timestamps to URLS, to prevent hitting the cache. Useful for persistent caches.

FAQ

Shortpixel Optimole Add Watermark

ShortPixel consistently has better compression rates along with more features, backup support and has very affordable one-time or monthly plans.
Here are a couple of independent reviews:
AuthorityHacker – “ShortPixel is our tool of choice, simply because it’s pretty much automated – we just let it do its thing.” (read full review)
WP Modula – “One of the reasons I’m personally a huge fan of ShortPixel is the built-in support for next-gen image formats like WebP.” (read full review)

Yes, you can.
As long as you have available credits, you can use a single API Key on as many websites as you wish!

Everyone has different needs, but generally, we recommend getting a One-Time plan to optimize your whole Media Library and then get a Monthly plan to optimize your future uploads. To learn more, have a look at this comparison

To know how many thumbnails you have, just install the plugin and go to Media > Bulk ShortPixel. The plugin will tell you how many thumbnails you’ve got. Based on this, have a look at our plans

Of course. You can upgrade or downgrade your plans in a couple of clicks from your account on shortpixel.com.

Yes, you can.
We offer 100 free image optimization credits each month. Exceeding the monthly free quota will pause the optimization process till the quota is reset or extended by buying one of our plans.

Shortpixel Adaptive Images

Absolutely.
You can actually optimize any image you have on your site regardless of its place. You just need to add – in the Advanced section of the ShortPixel Settings – the folders where the images you want to optimize are located and ShortPixel will work its magic and do the rest.

Sure!
You can optimize all your past/current images and photos using our “Bulk ShortPixel” page in your Media with a single click.

Yes, that is correct.
But please note that usually an image in Media Library has 3, 5 or more associated thumbs. Each optimized thumb requires a credit. In the rare cases when ShortPixel does not optimise the image (lossy) with at least 5%, the credit will not be consumed, though.

If you choose the “Image backup” option in Settings/ShortPixel then the original version of any optimized image or PDF will be saved in the backup folder.
The original image is needed if you want to restore an image or if you want to convert an image from lossy/glossy to lossless or viceversa.

ShortPixel optimises JPEG (JPG, JPEG, JPEG 2000, JPEG XR), PNG, GIF (animated and still) and PDF type of files.

Yes we do.
The credits that come with our one-time plans never expire. Yummy! 🙂

Your existing images are replaced with the optimized ones.
If you choose the backup option then the originals will be saved in a separate folder so you can restore them should you ever need/want to do that.

Our light-weight plugin sends the original images to our Image Optimization Cloud where they are compressed. ShortPixel then downloads the optimized images and the unoptimized originals are replaced with the optimised versions.

Yes, all the images processsed by ShortPixel are optimized in the Cloud. This takes the load off of your server and allows us to produce the best results.

We accept payments via card (Mastercard, Visa, Maestro, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, JCB, UnionPay), PayPal and Apple Pay.

You have to activate the plugin in the network admin and then activate it manually on each individual site in the multisite. Once you have done that, the Settings menu appears and you can add the API key for each individual site.
As an alternative, you can edit wp-config.php and add this line:

where APIKEY is the API Key received upon sign up.
If configured that way, the API key will be used for all the sites of the multisite but will only be visible on the main site’s Settings page, being hidden for the rest of the sites.

There is a simple way to hide the API key, all you need to do is to add these two lines in your wp-config.php:

A credit is used each time ShortPixel optimizes an image or thumbnail by at least 5%. If we’re not able to optimize an image or thumbnail by at least 5% then no credit will be used 🙂
Please also note that usually images in your Media Library have 3-5 thumbs associated and a credit will be used for each featured image or associated thumbnail that is optimized.

Because ShortPixel algorithms were perfected while optimizing over 2 billion real-life images.
ShortPixel not only offers the best compression for JPEG, PNG, GIF and PDF files but it also saves you a lot of time. You just install it on your site and then ShortPixel will take care that all the images on your site are immediately optimized after upload.

No, ShortPixel only optimizes images, it won’t touch anything else like your HTML/CSS.

Absolutely!
Once optimized, the images will remain optimized unless you explicitly choose to restore them. But why would you do that? 🙂
