In this video, I’m sharing my No.1, “no-brainer” plugin I install on every single live client WordPress site to ensure their images stay optimised, fast, and modern—even if the client forgets to resize them. We’re taking a demo site from a massive 11MB page size down to just 2MB with a few clicks. The best part? It’s 100% FREE.
What is Compress X?
Compress X is a powerful image optimisation plugin by the team behind WPvivid. It automatically converts images to modern formats like WebP and AVIF, handles bulk optimisation of your existing library, and lets you set maximum dimensions so those megapixel smartphone uploads get “crunched” immediately.
In this video, you’ll learn:
- Why PNGs and high-res JPEGs are killing your Google PageSpeed Insights scores.
- How to use Compress X to bulk-convert your entire media library to WebP.
- The “Set and Forget” setting to auto-optimise every future upload.
- How to limit maximum image dimensions (e.g., 1140px) to save massive amounts of server space.
- A real-time before and after test showing a jump to an A++ PageSpeed rating.
