Optimize WordPress uploads through the Compressify API with automatic compression, format conversion, and background processing for existing media.

== Description ==

Compressify connects WordPress to the Compressify API so new uploads and existing media library images can be optimized outside your hosting environment while keeping WordPress attachment metadata intact.

The plugin can optimize uploads automatically, convert output files to modern formats such as WebP or AVIF, and run background passes for older media items already stored in the library.

With Compressify, you can:
* Automatically compress JPG, PNG, and WebP images upon upload.
* Convert legacy images to next-generation formats like WebP or AVIF.
* Reduce bandwidth usage with smaller image payloads.
* Improve Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS) and PageSpeed-related performance metrics.
* Bulk optimize your entire existing media library with a single click.

To use this plugin, you will need a Compressify API key from your account at https://compressify.net.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/compressify-net` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.
3. Go to `Settings > Compressify` in your WordPress dashboard.
4. Enter your API key from the Compressify dashboard.
5. Configure your preferred output formats and compression levels.

== External services ==

This plugin connects to the Compressify API service to optimize images and keep the WordPress site linked with your Compressify workspace.

It sends the following data when you save or rotate the API key and the plugin registers the site with Compressify:
* Site domain
* Site name
* Plugin version
* WordPress version/platform name

It sends the following data during the periodic site heartbeat request:
* Site token
* Plugin version
* WordPress version/platform name

It sends the following data when an upload or background optimization job is processed:
* The image file contents being optimized
* Requested optimization settings such as output format, quality, and resize width when applicable
* Authentication credentials needed to authorize the request

It may also contact the Compressify API to check plugin/API availability for update and status flows.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

Compressify supports optimizing JPG, PNG, and WebP files. It can output optimized versions in JPG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF (depending on your plan).
