Wondering if there are any recommended plugins that plays nice with GD to get the job done or maybe another online service out there.

Thanks
Stacey

By the way, take a look in the WordPress plugins section, you should find plenties of plugin

Do you know if EWWW Image Optimizer & Imsanity plugins are compatible with GD?

Thanks & Cheers

I’ve tried now the EWWW plugin, and it worked like a charm.

Nice thing is that you can run it automatically on upload but also selective optimize images or have it run through the entire media library an optimize, either ignoring previously optimized images or reoptimizing them as well. Lots of great settings I haven’t actually played with yet, but very impressed so far.

I have found though, especially if you are uploading very large images to begin with that it seems to really bog down the system. In general, I think image optimization on the server is a pretty resource intensive operation, so any bulk optimizations might be best scheduled for off-hours or low traffic periods.

cheers
