 * I’m thinking of using this, but wonder where the compression happens.
    If I upload
   a new image, does this image get compressed and then the multiple images sizes
   used in wordpress get created.
 * Or do all the sizes get created and then they’re optimised?
 * I wondered as at the moment I want to to use the free version, and the process
   order would affect the quota

 * Hi,
    By default Imagify will automatically optimize the images you upload to 
   your WordPress and then all the thumbnails associated. So all the original size(
   including the thumbnails) will count it your quota.
 * Let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you—I’m happy to help.
