WordPress powers millions of sites—and image bloat is a common performance bottleneck. Fortunately, WordPress offers robust plugin solutions (like EWWW Image Optimizer, Optimole, ShortPixel) that automatically compress images on upload and in bulk[1]. These plugins can convert images to next-gen formats, implement lazy loading, and even serve assets via CDN for maximum speed. Faster site speed directly impacts SEO (ranking, indexation), bounce rates, and overall user satisfaction. With simple setup and immediate ROI, image compression is the most effective speed upgrade for any WordPress site.
