## Beschrijving

**ImOptimizer – Optimize Images** is a safe, lightweight way to serve next-gen images
on WordPress by converting uploads to WebP.

Most optimization plugins either rely on external APIs or risk server crashes by
processing images without checking memory limits. **ImOptimizer runs fully on your
server** using the native PHP GD library and includes a **Smart Memory Guard** that
estimates RAM usage before converting—helping prevent memory exhaustion.

### 🚀 Why ImOptimizer?

 * **Boost Core Web Vitals:** WebP images reduce page weight and speed up loading.
 * **Zero API Fees:** No subscriptions, no credits, no data sharing. Runs locally.
 * **Server Safety First:** Skips risky conversions on low memory and detects conflicts(
   Smush/EWWW/ShortPixel, etc.).
 * **Set & Forget:** Auto-converts JPG/JPEG/PNG at upload time.

### ⚡ Feature Highlights

 * **Smart Conversion:** Converts the main image AND generated thumbnails (Media
   Library, WooCommerce, etc.).
 * **Self-Cleaning Logs:** Optional logging with retention cleanup (Cron).
 * **MIME Sync:** Updates WordPress metadata so `.webp` is recognized correctly.
 * **Privacy Focused:** Your images never leave your server.

## Installatie

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/bp-imoptimizer-optimize-images/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to **Settings > ImOptimizer**.
 4. Save your preferences. (Default: Quality 85, Logging Disabled).

## FAQ

### Does this convert my existing media library?

No. The plugin processes **new uploads only**.

### What image formats does this plugin convert?

It supports **JPG, JPEG, and PNG** images (converted to WebP).

### Can I delete the original images after conversion?

Yes. Enable **Delete Original Image** in settings.

### Will this work if I don’t have an API key?

Yes. No APIs are used. The plugin relies on your server’s GD library.

### What happens if the uploaded file is too large?

Images larger than **15MB** are skipped for stability (and logged if logging is 
enabled).

### Where are the conversion logs saved?

Logs are stored in a secure folder:
 /wp-content/uploads/bp-imoptimizer-logs/ In
Multisite, logs are stored per site: /wp-content/uploads/bp-imoptimizer-logs-{blog_id}/

### What happens if I uninstall the plugin?

Your existing WebP images remain on disk and continue to work. The plugin settings/
transients and log folders are removed on uninstall.

### Does this work on WordPress Multisite?

Yes. Each site gets its own isolated log folder.

### Why are my images not converting?

 1. Ensure GD supports WebP (`imagewebp` must exist).
 2. Enable logging and review logs.
 3. Disable conflicting optimizer plugins (Smush/EWWW/ShortPixel/Imagify, etc.).
 4. Check memory limits (the plugin skips conversions if estimated usage is too high).

### Can I rename the plugin folder?

**No.** Keep the folder name as:
 bp-imoptimizer-optimize-images This helps ensure
updates, references, and translations remain consistent.
