## Disgrifiad

You know that **Site Speed** and **SEO** are the keys to success.

**Auto WebP & Alt Optimizer** is a lightweight yet powerful tool designed to solve
two major problems automatically:

 1. **Image Size (Speed):** It automatically converts your uploaded JPG/PNG images 
    into the modern **WebP** format. WebP images are significantly smaller (often 30-
    50% smaller) than standard JPEGs.
 2.  * **New in 1.4:** We now use the native PHP GD library (`imagewebp`) to ensure
       compression settings work on all server environments, bypassing common WordPress
       cache issues.
 3. **Image SEO (Ranking):** It automatically cleans up your image filenames (removing
    hyphens and underscores) and sets them as the **Alt Text**. Google relies on Alt
    text to understand images, and this plugin ensures you never forget to fill it 
    in.

### Key Features

 * **Native WebP Conversion:** Uses low-level GD functions to guarantee file size
   reduction.
 * **4 Quality Levels:** Choose from Low (20), Medium (50), High (80), or Very High(
   90) quality presets to suit your needs.
 * **Auto Alt Tags:** Converts `my-product-photo.jpg` to “My Product Photo” automatically.
 * **Zero Bloat:** No complex configuration. Just install, select a level, and forget.

### Why use this plugin?

 * **Boost Core Web Vitals:** Smaller images mean faster LCP (Largest Contentful
   Paint).
 * **Save Storage:** Stop storing duplicate versions of images. original files are
   replaced to save space.
 * **Automate SEO:** Save hours of manual work filling in Alt tags.

> **Note:** This plugin processes images upon upload. It does not currently process
> images already existing in your Media Library.

## Gosod

 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/auto-webp-alt-optimizer` directory,
    or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
 3. Go to **Settings -> WebP & Alt Settings** to configure the plugin.
 4. Enable the switch and select your desired Quality Level (Recommended: High – 80).
 5. Done! Upload a new image to test it out.
