Optimización por lotes
Optimize images, all from a single page. This includes the Media Library, your theme, and a handful of pre-configured folders (see Optimize Everything Else below). GRAND FlaGallery, NextCellent and NextGEN have their own Bulk Optimize pages.
Optimizar todo lo demás
Configure any folder within your WordPress install to optimize images. The Bulk Optimizer will compress theme images, BuddyPress avatars, BuddyPress Activity Plus images, Meta Slider slides, WP Symposium Pro avatars, GD bbPress attachments, Grand Media Galleries, and any user-specified folders. You can also use Scheduled optimization or run the optimizer from WP-CLI if that’s more your thing.
Compatibilidad del plugin
Se ha probado EWWW Image Optimizer con miles de plugins y temas, éstos son sólo algunos de los más comunes: BuddyPress (también la extensión Activity Plus), Cloudinary, Easy Watermark, FileBird, FooGallery, GD bbPress Attachments, GRAND FlAGallery, Gmedia Photo Gallery, MediaPress, Meta Slider, Microsoft Azure Storage, MyArcadePlugin, NextGEN Gallery, Regenerate Thumbnails,
Weglot, WP Offload Media, WPML, WP Retina 2x, WP RSS Aggregator, WP Symposium. y muchos más…
Imágenes WebP
Si quieres algo sencillo, obtén la conversión automática a WebP con Easy IO, ¡y listo! Si no, puedes generar versiones WebP de imágenes ilimitadas con el optimizador por lotes. Entrégalas a los navegadores compatibles con reglas de de reescritura estilo Apache, JS WebP Rewriting, o Picture WebP Rewriting. EWWW Image Optimizer funciona incluso con la opción WebP del plugin Cache Enabler de KeyCDN.
AVIF Images
AVIF conversion is built into the Easy IO CDN. Once your site is setup with Easy IO, edit the site settings to enable AVIF, and you’re done!
WP-CLI
Allows you to run all batch image processes from the command line, instead of the web interface. Optimize images even faster, run it in ‘screen’ or via regular cron (instead of wp-cron, which can be unpredictable on low-traffic sites). Install WP-CLI from wp-cli.org, and run ‘wp-cli.phar help ewwwio optimize’ for more information or see the Docs.
Compatible con CDN
WP Offload Media is the officially supported (and recommended) plugin for uploads to Amazon S3, Digital Ocean Spaces, and Google Cloud Storage. Check our compatibility list for details on other plugins. All pull mode CDNs like Cloudflare, KeyCDN, Bunny CDN and Sucuri work automatically, but you will need to purge the CDN cache after you optimize images with bulk optimization.

FAQ
-
¿El plugin elimina los metadatos EXIF y/o IPTC?
-
EWWW Image Optimizer eliminará los metadatos por defecto, pero si necesitas conservar los datos EXIF/IPTC por motivos de copyright, puedes desactivar la opción «Eliminar metadatos». Los datos EXIF no afectan al SEO, y Google (y casi todo el mundo) recomienda eliminarlos.
