## Wopisanje

**MITS Image Optimizer** is a professional image optimization toolkit for WordPress.
It compresses images automatically on upload, batch-converts your entire media library
to WebP and AVIF, configures Apache to serve next-gen formats automatically, and
scans your site for common technical SEO issues.

#### Features

**Auto-Compress on Upload**
 Every JPG/PNG above a configurable size threshold is
automatically scaled and compressed before WordPress generates its thumbnail sizes.
No extra steps needed.

**Bulk Compression**
 Run a background batch job to compress all existing images
in your media library. Progress is tracked and the job runs asynchronously — it 
won’t block your browser.

**WebP Converter**
 Batch-convert all JPG/PNG/GIF files in your uploads directory
to WebP format. Runs in the background using WP-Cron or a loopback HTTP request.
Supports both Imagick and GD libraries.

**AVIF Converter**
 Convert images to AVIF — the next-generation format that can
be 30–50% smaller than WebP. Requires Imagick 7+ with AVIF support or PHP 8.1+ with
GD `imageavif()`. The plugin detects support automatically and warns you if AVIF
is unavailable on your server.

**Apache .htaccess Configuration**
 One click adds `mod_rewrite` rules to your `.
htaccess` so Apache automatically serves `.webp` files to browsers that support 
them, with no code changes required in your theme.

**Image Dimensions Scanner**
 Detects images ≥ 1600 px wide that are used in posts
or as featured images. Helps you find oversized images that slow down page loads,
along with their file sizes, dimensions, and WebP/AVIF conversion status.

**Site Audit**
 Scans your site for the most common technical issues: missing alt
text, oversized images, missing SSL, outdated plugins, pages without Open Graph 
tags, and more. Results include actionable recommendations.

**Dashboard Widget**
 A compact stats panel on the WordPress admin dashboard showing
compression savings, WebP/AVIF conversion counts, and a link to the optimizer.

#### Requirements

 * PHP 8.0+, WordPress 6.0+
 * GD or Imagick PHP extension (for WebP/compression)
 * Imagick 7+ with AVIF or PHP 8.1+ GD (for AVIF conversion)
 * Apache + `mod_rewrite` (for automatic WebP serving via `.htaccess`)

#### Privacy

This plugin does not collect any personal data and does not make any external HTTP
requests.

## Instalacija

 1. Upload the `mits-image-optimizer` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin via **Plugins  Installed Plugins**.
 3. Navigate to **MITS Optimizer** in the WordPress admin sidebar.
 4. (Optional) Click **Konfiguruj .htaccess** on the WebP tab to enable automatic browser-
    side WebP delivery.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin delete my original images?

No. Original images are never deleted. WebP and AVIF files are saved alongside originals
with a `.webp` or `.avif` extension (e.g. `photo.jpg`  `photo.jpg.webp`).

### What happens if my server doesn’t support AVIF?

The AVIF tab will display a warning with the reason (e.g. Imagick version too old,
or GD `imageavif()` not available). WebP conversion and compression still work independently
of AVIF support.

### Does it work with object-cache or page-cache plugins?

Yes. The plugin only modifies image files in your uploads directory and your `.htaccess`.
It is compatible with all major caching plugins.

### Can I run compression and WebP/AVIF conversion at the same time?

It is not recommended. Run one batch job at a time to avoid server load spikes and
to keep progress tracking accurate.

### Is the .htaccess change reversible?

Yes. The plugin wraps its rules in clearly marked comment blocks (`# BEGIN MITS 
WebP` … `# END MITS WebP`). You can remove them manually or via the plugin button.

### What image formats are supported?

Auto-compression and bulk compression support JPG, JPEG, PNG, and GIF. WebP and 
AVIF conversion support the same formats. GIF files are converted to static WebP/
AVIF (animation is not preserved).

Does exactly what it promises. Auto-compression on upload works out of the box, 
WebP batch conversion runs smoothly in the background without blocking the browser,
and the .htaccess configuration for automatic WebP serving is a one-click setup.
The Image Dimensions Scanner is a nice bonus for catching oversized images before
they become a performance problem.
