Frequently Asked Questions
How does the plugin work?
Squeeze compresses images in your browser with Web Workers and open-source codecs (MozJPEG, Browser Image Compression for PNG, WebP and AVIF — the same family as Squoosh.app). You can squeeze from the Media Library, run Bulk or Directory Squeeze, or compress on upload in supported editors.
Do I need an API key or cloud account?
No. There is no third-party compression API and no monthly image quota from Squeeze. Processing stays on your site / in your admin browser.
Are images sent to an external server?
No. Image bytes are not uploaded to Squeeze’s servers for compression. That helps with privacy and GDPR-sensitive setups.
What does compression speed depend on?
Your device and the image size. Large PNGs take longer. If needed, raise Squeeze timeout under Settings → Squeeze → Basic Settings.
Can Squeeze convert images to WebP?
Yes. Enable Direct WebP conversion (recommended) under Basic Settings to replace JPG/PNG with .webp on disk and save storage. You can also use legacy modes that keep originals and store WebP under wp-content/squeeze-webp/ with HTML rewrite or .htaccess delivery.
How are WebP images served?
Choose one of three modes in WebP delivery:
- Direct WebP — the file on disk becomes
.webp(lowest storage). - Rewrite <img> src — keeps originals; serves WebP URLs in HTML output.
- Server delivery — keeps URLs; Apache
.htaccessserves WebP to supporting browsers.
Premium CDN URL helps map CDN paths for WebP delivery across these modes.
Does Squeeze work with WP Offload Media?
Yes with Direct WebP — converted files sync to S3, GCS, DigitalOcean Spaces, and similar providers via WP Offload Media. The rewrite and .htaccess WebP modes are not compatible when media is offloaded to a CDN. Squeeze shows this warning in settings when Offload is active.
Which scripts / codecs does Squeeze use?
Squeeze uses the same technology family as Squoosh.app by the Chrome team, including:
- MozJPEG — JPEG compression
- Browser Image Compression — PNG compression
- WebP — modern WebP encode/convert
- AVIF — advanced AVIF encode
Which image formats are supported?
JPEG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF.
Can I compress multiple images at once?
Yes. Use Bulk Squeeze for Media Library attachments (pause/resume supported) or Directory Squeeze for any folder under your site root. Back up before directory runs — automatic .bak backups are not created in directory mode.
Can I customize compression settings?
Yes. Go to Settings → Squeeze for per-format tabs (JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF), thumbnail selection, exclusions by URL/filename pattern, and backup options.
Does Squeeze work with Gutenberg, GenerateBlocks, Voxel, and Elementor?
On-upload squeeze works with Gutenberg, GenerateBlocks, and Voxel (free). Elementor on-upload squeeze is a Premium feature.
What if the compressed file is larger than the original?
Squeeze can skip replacing that file. Lower quality in the format tabs, exclude the image, or squeeze a smaller thumbnail size. Premium image comparison helps you review before/after results in the Media Library.
