Wordpress LScache Plugin: Self-hosted Image Optimization
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 I have an old non-commercial web site and now transfer it on vps with openLiteSpeed Web server. The part of the process is image optimization. But when I try a quic cloud service I spent a lot of time to do it. And convert only 40% of images. I dont understand why plugin developers dont propose a self-hosted optimization. Because during a development server load is almost zero. As an example ? webpexpress plugin. Or maybe I dont find such method? Hi, Well , the reason for not self-hosted image opt is that a lot , if not most of users are on shared hosting , in which case , many PHP function may not enabled , resources might be limited, therefore it may not be a good idea to make optimization on users server. you think as VPS owner or developer , it makes sense , but when you think as normal user (which probably dont know how to enable functions , or even not allowed by provider) or hosting provider who is picky resources usage, you will understand. there was a issue on image optimization we found and fixed early today, could you please clean up unfinished data, upgrade to v3.0.8.6 , then send request again , and see how it goes ?
