Smush.it plugin for WordPress – Optimized Images

10Dec2008 Filed under: Blog Stuff, Wordpress Author: Nischal Shetty

Smush.it is an online image optimizing tool which was featured on this blog a couple of months back.

Smush.it optimizes your images so that visitors of your blog have to spend less time waiting for images to download.

WP Smush.it uses the Smush.it api to compress any images uploaded by you automatically. So this practically eliminates the need to visit the site every time you add an image to your post. It’s all automated baby ;o)

The plugin download page says:

Every image you add to a page or post will be automatically run through Smush.it behind the scenes. You don’t have to do anything different.

Get WP Smush.it

I am using Get The Image on one of my blogs but it is a bear to set up and support is paid only. I am always on the lookout for better wp image handlers and will give yours a try.

@John

The Smush.it plugin for wordpress is very easy to install and use. Just upload the folder containing the plugin files. Go to ‘Plugins’ and activate it.

From here on, you dont have to do anything. The plugin automatically compresses any image that you upload!

I never could get it working. I got a database error on activation.

Just installed it and it works flawless.

Although the ‘smushed’ bytes are very lill’, for a gallery-site I have in mind all these bytes together will make a difference.

Thanks for the plugin…
