It also optimizes the image to improve your site's performance. The plugin also renames the image file to the WebP format and cleans up the file name for better SEO. Additionally, the plugin uses the cleaned up name to pre-populate the alt, caption, description, legend, and title metadata, making image management on your site easier. You can also set a maximum width and height for the image, which will automatically resize it if necessary. No API is required and the plugin is completely free, with no subscriptions or additional fees.
