Images are the number one cause of slow WordPress websites. Imagify is the easiest image optimisation plugin for WordPress, automatically compressing and converting your images to WebP format — making your website faster without any effort on your part.
What Is Imagify?
Imagify is an image compression and optimisation plugin that automatically reduces the file size of every image you upload to WordPress. It also converts images to the modern WebP format, which loads significantly faster than traditional JPEG and PNG files. The result is a faster website and better Google PageSpeed scores.
Key Features
- Automatic Compression — Every image you upload is compressed instantly in the background.
- WebP Conversion — Automatically serves WebP images to browsers that support it.
- Bulk Optimisation — Compress your entire media library at once.
- Three Compression Levels — Normal, Aggressive, and Ultra to balance quality vs file size.
- Resize on Upload — Automatically resize large images to a maximum dimension you set.
- Lossless Compression — Reduce file size without any visible quality loss.
How Much Does It Help?
Optimised images can reduce your page weight by 50-80%. A page that previously loaded 3MB of images might load only 600KB after Imagify optimisation. This translates directly to faster load times, better Core Web Vitals scores, and improved Google rankings.
Free vs Paid
Imagify offers 20MB of free optimisation per month — enough for a handful of images. Beyond that, you need a paid plan starting at around €4.99/month for unlimited optimisation. For active websites with many images, the paid plan is well worth the investment.
If your website feels sluggish, install Imagify and run a bulk optimisation. The speed improvement is often immediate and dramatic.
