S3 Image Optimizer

If you’re looking to upgrade your workflow, S3 Image Optimizer might just be the missing piece of the puzzle. S3 IO features a web-based bulk optimization process, and a WP-CLI interface for massive buckets.

In this review, we’ll take a close look at its capabilities, setup process, and why it deserves a spot on your server.

Why It Stands Out

What separates a generic tool from a great one? Usually, it’s the attention to detail. The S3 Image Optimizer will optimize all your images in 1-1,000+ Amazon S3 buckets using the EWWW Image Optimizer.

Key Highlights

• Since EWWW IO integrates directly with plugins like WP Offload Media, S3 IO is generally for folks who use a solution other than WP Offload Media to put their images on S3.
• But, if you have 20 sites sharing an S3 bucket, or have lots of buckets, and you would want to optimize them all from one place instead of 20 different sites, this is the add-on for you.
• S3 IO works with any S3-compatible storage service including Linode, Backblaze B2 and Digital Ocean Spaces.
• You may report security issues through our Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program.
• The Patchstack team helps validate, triage and handle any security vulnerabilities.
• Report a security vulnerability.

Developers will appreciate the clean codebase and flexibility offered here.

Getting It Running

We know you hate complicated setups. Luckily, S3 Image Optimizer follows the standard WordPress protocols:

1. Grab the package from the repository.
2. Head over to your Dashboard and hit upload.
3. Activate it and look for the new settings panel (usually under Settings or Tools).

Quick Tip: It’s always a good idea to flush your cache after activating a new Plugin.

Our Verdict

After digging into S3 Image Optimizer, we can confidently say it’s a solid addition to the ecosystem. It does what it says on the tin without unnecessary fuss.
