  Hi,

  I’ve recently hit a notification that I have used 2/3 of the space available to me, and want to make sure I don’t overstep the mark, but also make my pages load faster by having smaller images. Is there a way I can compress the 2GB of images i have in my media library, and is there a way i can compress images on the way in?
  There’s some things on google about a way of doing compression on upload that does a call to tinyJPG or tinyPNG when an image is being added to the media library but it went a bit over my head.

  Glad for any support you can offer.

  Hi Murtaza,
  I suggest you to try this image optimization plugin, I should reduce your

  Or as an alternative just use such an online service but it involves a lot more work for you:
