    Hi, i’m just wondering why this plugin is needed as WordPress compresses thumbnail images by default anyway.

    If this plugin is enabled, does it then disable the inbuilt compression?

    Thanks

    Hello & thank you for your question! 🙂

    The default WP compression is a “one size fits all” and it only applies to JPEG images.
    What ShortPixel plugin offers is a smart image optimization solution that can apply different types of optimization depending on each user’s needs. The resulting thumbs are usually 50% smaller than their original, WP created version, while retaining the visual quality.

    You can run a few tests (for free) using our online optimization service here.

    Best regards,
    Alex
