## Descripción

Vacuum Image Optimizer is a modern, lightweight image optimization toolkit for WordPress.
It shrinks your image footprint by generating next-generation WebP and optional 
AVIF files locally, while always keeping your original files safe and untouched.

Everything happens inside a clean, friendly admin interface — no command line, no
external services, and no account required.

Unlike optimizers that rewrite originals or depend on a remote API, Vacuum writes
generated formats alongside the source image, can keep restorable backups, and serves
WebP/AVIF on the frontend without changing stored media URLs.

**What it does**

 * **WebP generation and source optimization** — Create optimized WebP copies of
   JPEG/PNG images and safely recompress uploaded WebP source files when the result
   is smaller.
 * **AVIF generation** — Optionally generate AVIF, a newer format that is often 
   even smaller than WebP, as a parallel format when the server supports it.
 * **Bulk optimization** — Scan your media library and process eligible images in
   safe, batched background steps.
 * **Queue processing** — A reliable queue runs work in small WordPress AJAX batches
   you can start, pause, and resume.
 * **Upload automation** — Automatically optimize new JPEG, PNG, and WebP uploads,
   either by queueing them or processing them immediately.
 * **Frontend delivery** — Serve generated WebP/AVIF on the frontend with automatic,
   safe fallback to the original image — your media URLs in the database are never
   changed.
 * **Reports** — See storage savings, recent activity, top savings, format distribution,
   and automation stats, with one-click CSV export.
 * **Localization** — Fully translatable, shipping with 9 bundled languages plus
   an in-plugin interface-language selector.
 * **Local processing** — No external API dependency; optimization runs on your 
   WordPress server.

**Safe by design**

Vacuum never modifies or deletes your original images. Optimized formats are written
alongside the originals, optional backups can be kept, and a one-click restore brings
originals back at any time.

## Instalación

 1. Upload the `vacuum-image-optimizer` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory,
    or install the plugin through the **Plugins  Add New** screen in WordPress.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen.
 3. Go to **Media  Vacuum Image Optimizer** to open the dashboard.
 4. Complete or skip the optional setup wizard.
 5. Open the **Compression** tab to choose a compression profile and quality, and to
    optionally enable AVIF, upload automation, and frontend delivery.
 6. Open the **Bulk Optimize** tab, click **Optimize all unoptimized images**, then**
    Start Queue** to optimize existing images.

## FAQ

### Does Vacuum replace my original images?

No. Your original files are never modified or deleted. Optimized WebP/AVIF copies
are created alongside the originals, and the frontend always falls back to the original
when needed.

### Does it support AVIF?

Yes. AVIF generation is available as a parallel format when your server supports
it (via Imagick or a GD build with AVIF). If AVIF is unavailable, WebP and originals
continue to work normally.

### Can I restore my originals?

Yes. When backups are enabled, each original is copied before optimization, and 
you can restore it at any time from the per-image **Restore** action in the Media
Library.

### Does it support bulk optimization?

Yes. The Bulk Optimize tab scans eligible JPEG, PNG, and WebP images and processes
them in safe, batched steps that you can start, pause, and resume.

### Does it optimize uploaded WebP files?

Yes. Existing WebP source files can be recompressed safely. Vacuum creates a backup
first and replaces the source only when the optimized WebP is smaller.

### Does it work with WooCommerce?

Yes. Frontend delivery hooks into the standard WordPress image functions used by
WooCommerce product and gallery images, so generated formats are served automatically
with fallback to originals.

### Does it support multilingual sites?

The admin interface is fully translatable and ships with 9 languages. You can also
pick a specific interface language in the Compression settings, independent of the
site language.

### Will it change my image URLs in the database?

No. Frontend delivery swaps URLs only at render time based on browser support and
file availability. Your stored attachment URLs are never altered, so the feature
is fully reversible.

### What are the requirements?

WordPress 6.2+ and PHP 8.1+. WebP/AVIF generation requires the Imagick or GD extension
with the relevant format support, which you can verify on the System Status tab.
