Does the plugin optimize existing thumbnails?

    Hello. I have two questions about the plugin:

    1. Is it possible to use your plugin to compress images that already exist in my WordPress library? Or does your plugin only compress images when they are uploaded?

    2. If your plugin can compress existing images, I have a follow-up question. When one uploads an image to WordPress, several smaller thumbnails of that image are automatically created (e.g. small, medium, large, etc). If I use your plugin to compress an image that already exists in my WordPress library, does your plugin in-turn ensure all the thumbnails associated with that image are also compressed? Or would I have to do that separately?

    Currently, I have many unoptimized thumbnail images on my site. I am looking to optimize all those thumbnails, and was hoping I could use your plugin to do so.

    Thanks.

    Hello @cag8f, yes you can do both with the plugin: optimise new images and existing images with the bulk feature.

    When any image in WordPress is optimised, the thumbnails you have selected for optimisation (default all) will also be optimised.

    For all those unoptimized thumbnail images you have on your site you can use the bulk optimization feature which is designed especially for this.

    Good luck and happy compressing!
