This is a re-smush service package for offbeatWP. After loading the service into offbeatWP it's going to send images to the resmush.it API every time an image is uploaded. When the API has smushed the image, the service will fetch the image and replace the original by it.
- The images are optimized to 90% of the quality of the original.
- If the API is offline or giving an error code you can find this error in the debug log (if enabled).
- If the API is offline it will ignore the call and just only upload the images.
- If the size of the image is bigger than 5MB the image will be ignored.
After uploading, a copy of the original file is made. The thumbnails are created after this. These are optimized based on the original (non-optimized) image. The original image is also optimized in this hook. The original file can be found in the upload folder 'filename.extension. original' without any compression. If you generate thumbnails again, it will use the (non-optimized) image.
If you are not happy with the optimization, you can set the options differently and re-optimize the images. You can do this by recreating the thumbnails. For example via this plug-in (https://en.wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/). I use the hook which is called when the thumbnails are (re-)generated. It is also possible to use the CLI function to regenerate the thumbnails
Install the package using Composer (First you need to go to the OffbeatWP theme folder)
composer require offbeatwp/re-smush
Then you need to add the re-smush as service. You can do this by adding the service in the config/service.php file.
