Optimizing Images

QUIC.cloud provides image optimization services to LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress. This service makes your images more efficient and faster to transmit.

You don't need to have a QUIC.cloud account to use Image Optimization, but you do need to enable QUIC.cloud service. You should only need to do this once, so if you've already paired WordPress and QUIC.cloud for some other service, you should be good to go.

Configuring and using Image Optimization

By default, the service optimizes JPG and PNG images, but can be configured to also generate next-generation image formats (Webp or AVIF) at the same time. Other configurable options include:

  • Behavior of the request and pull crons
  • What to do with original image backups
  • Quality level and losslessness (or not) of the optimization
  • Whether to preserve image EXIF data

Images from your WordPress Media Library are sent to QUIC.cloud in batches. QUIC.cloud performs the optimization using QUIC.cloud's own service nodes so there is no impact on your server performance. Finally, QUIC.cloud notifies WordPress to pick up the optimized images for use on your site.

Because Image Optimization is configured and controlled in the LiteSpeed plugin, we have only provided an overview here. Full documentation of the available WordPress plugin settings can be found in our LSCWP documentation.
