 * Hi,
 * I see both SG Optimizer and Shortpixel have the 2 main features: compressing 
   automatically images and serving .WEBPs.
 * Without considering the perfect size/quality ratio, which plugin actually get
   it, the question is: are the 2 features totally overlapping? Does SG Optimizer
   behave just like Shortpixel?
 * Thank you
    Fabrizio

 * Yes, you don’t need to use another image optimization plugin since you have SGO.

 * Thank you Hristo.
 * I just deactivated Shortpixel and left SGO 🙂
 * I have got 1 more question but it is about specific images of my homepage who
   are not served as WEBP ans slow down the page a lot.
    May I ask in this thread?
 * Thank you

 * Yeah but if I can try to predict your question – we create webp copies of images
   that are in the Media Library. Those that don’t have copies are usually hard-
   coded ones by the theme. Solution is to add them to the media library. I have
   personally used this plugin – [https://wordpress.org/plugins/media-sync/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/media-sync/)
   run it once, add missing images to the library and remove it. Then you can bulk
   generate webp files 🙂

 * Thank you Hristo,
 * that’s very interesting. I think I am so close to the solution.
 * I tried media-sync and I understand what you suggest which I was eager to do.
   
   However, apart from finding many files which are not images (.css, .ico, etc),
   it also finds .webp files.
 * I reckon I should leave this too and just import all the .PNG and .JPG files.
   Is that correct?
    Importing the .webps to the media library would just clog the
   library, wouldn’t it?
 * Thank you

 * Hi again Hristo,
 * eventually I did import only .jpg and png and did exactly like you suggested 
   and worked like a charm! Thanks
    I’ll be waiting for your suggestion about the
   the other extensions.
 * I would like to clarify 1 more point about the SG optimizer’s optimization features.
   
   Would you say it’s better lossy or lossless? If lossy, which percentage? The 
   website at the moment has a good mix of jpg and png images.
 * Thank you
    Fabrizio
