## Descriere

Perxel Image Optimizer converts your WordPress media library to WebP **locally**,

on your own server, and serves it – entirely from an admin page, built for shared
hosting.

 * **No third party.** Conversion runs in PHP via WP_Image_Editor (GD/Imagick).
   
   Nothing is uploaded to a CDN or an external optimization service, and there is
   no API key, account or paid tier. Your images never leave your host.
 * **Free.** The whole plugin, no upsell.
 * **Runs in the background.** A light scan estimates the work, then a background
   
   job (Action Scheduler) converts the library newest-to-oldest, one calendar month
   at a time. Pause, resume, cancel, close the tab – progress is durable. Optional
   email report when a run finishes.
 * **Or run it Fast.** An opt-in mode that drives the conversion from the open
    
   admin tab, so the server works continuously – much quicker on shared hosting 
   with no cron. It throttles itself if the host pushes back, and stopping never
   loses work.
 * **Originals are untouched.** `foo.jpg` gets a `foo.jpg.webp` sibling; the
    source
   file is never modified.
 * **Serving** through a managed `.htaccess` block on Apache/LiteSpeed, with an
   
   to `<picture>` fallback on nginx or when `.htaccess` is not writable.
 * Per-attachment Convert / Reconvert / Remove buttons in the Media library.
 * New uploads are converted automatically, shortly after upload.

The admin area is two screens under Media > Optimization: an **Optimization** page(
scan
  prepare  live monitor) and a separate **Settings** page (environment, conversion
options, serving, notifications, cleanup).

## Întrebări frecvente

### Does it modify my original images?

No. Every converted file is written as a new `.webp` sibling next to the original.

### What happens on nginx?

The `.htaccess` swap is Apache-only. On nginx the plugin rewrites `<img>` tags to

with a WebP source instead.

## Istoric modificări

#### 1.0.2

 * Housekeeping only, no behaviour change. Plugin URI now points to the product 
   page on perxel.com instead of the GitHub repo.

#### 1.0.1

 * Tightened output-escaping suppressions in the admin views to per-file
    targeted
   ignores, addressing the plugin review’s escaping feedback.
 * Media Library scripts/styles now load only on the Media list and the
    single-
   attachment edit screen.

#### 1.0.0

 * First public release.
 * Local WebP conversion via WP_Image_Editor – no CDN, no external service, free.
 * Month-scoped bulk run with two drivers: a background run on Action Scheduler
   (
   pause, resume, cancel, durable progress, optional completion email) and an opt-
   in Fast mode where the browser tab drives the encode loop directly, for shared
   hosting with no working WP-Cron loopback. Fast mode self-pauses when the host
   throttles and resumes after an escalating cooldown; a live Gentle / Balanced /
   Turbo control sits on the running monitor.
 * Closing the tab, Stop, or Cancel never reverts converted files – the run
    parks
   and resumes from where it left off.
 * Per-attachment Convert / Reconvert / Remove buttons in the Media library, and
   
   automatic conversion of new uploads.
 * Serving via a managed `.htaccess` block on Apache/LiteSpeed, with an `<img>` 
   to
    fallback elsewhere.
 * Two admin screens under Media > Optimization – Optimization (prepare + live monitor)
   
   and Settings – in a shared sidebar layout, server-rendered.
