Features That Make Optimole The Ultimate Image Solution:
🔄 Seamless Bulk Optimization
Optimize your entire media library with a single click. Optimole processes your images in the background, so you don’t need to keep your browser open during optimization. Perfect for existing websites with large image collections.
🚀 One-Click Image Offloading
Free up valuable server space by offloading your entire media library to Optimole’s secure cloud storage. All your images are safely stored and delivered from our optimized CDN, reducing your hosting costs and server load. Need your images back on your server? Our seamless one-click restoration process makes it easy to transfer everything back
whenever you want, giving you complete flexibility and control over your media assets.
🌎 CDN
Optimole bietet kostenlosen Zugang zu einem AWS CloudFront CDN mit Edge-Standorten in mehr als 450 Städten rund um den Globus.
🖼️ ML-Powered Smart Compression
Our machine learning algorithms analyze each image to determine the optimal compression level that balances quality and file size. Unlike basic compression tools, Optimole’s smart compression adapts to image content, preserving important details while aggressively compressing areas where quality loss won’t be noticeable. Making it easy to compress images without sacrificing quality.
🔄 Intelligent Format-Based Optimization
Our advanced cloud-based transformation process optimizes images based on format and serves them in next-gen formats automatically. If your visitor’s browser supports WebP or AVIF, Optimole instantly converts and delivers these formats, reducing file size by up to 80% compared to traditional JPEG and PNG, while maintaining visual quality.
💾 Advanced Digital Asset Management (DAM)
Take complete control of your media with our built-in DAM system. Store images in the Optimole Cloud to save server space and easily share assets between multiple websites. Our seamless integration with Elementor Builder and WordPress core editor means you can access your optimized cloud images directly from your familiar editing interfaces.
📏 Exact Responsive Sizing
Optimole delivers just one image perfectly sized for each visitor’s exact device dimensions – no more generating multiple image sizes or guessing at breakpoints. This means mobile users don’t download desktop-sized images, and desktop users get appropriately high-resolution versions.
📱 Retina & High-DPR Display Support
Automatically detect high-resolution displays like Retina screens and deliver images with the perfect Device Pixel Ratio (DPR). Your images will look crisp and sharp on the latest devices without unnecessarily large file sizes on standard displays.
⚡ No Content Shifting with Advanced Lazy Loading
Our lightweight lazy loading defers offscreen images for faster initial page loads without any content shifting. Optimole’s implementation doesn’t rely on heavy jQuery dependencies, making it faster than other lazy loading solutions while being more compatible with modern themes.
🔍 AI-Powered Smart Cropping
Maintain focus on the important elements in your images with our intelligent cropping system. Whether it’s faces in portraits, products in e-commerce shots, or key elements in landscapes, smart cropping ensures proper sizing without losing the subject’s focus. This is especially valuable for responsive designs where image dimensions change dramatically.
💧 Customizable Watermarking
Protect your images with automatic watermarking. Configure your watermark once, select positioning and opacity, and Optimole will apply it to all future uploads automatically. Perfect for photographers, artists, and content creators who need to protect their work.
🖼️ Multiple File Type Support
Optimole goes beyond just images. Our cloud dashboard supports uploading and managing a wide variety of file types, including videos, audio files, PDFs, documents, and more. This makes Optimole a comprehensive media management solution, not just an image optimizer.

FAQ
-
Wie viele Bilder kann ich mit jedem Tarif optimieren?
-
Die Anzahl der Bilder, die du optimieren oder speichern kannst, ist unbegrenzt. Uns interessiert nur die Anzahl der Besuche, die du pro Monat hast.
-
Was passiert, wenn ich die Grenzen des Tarifs überschreite?
-
Sobald du diese überschreitest, werden wir dich kontaktieren und dich bitten, auf den für dich passenden Tarif umzusteigen.
-
Welches Content Delivery Network (CDN) wird verwendet?
-
Sowohl für die KOSTENLOSEN als auch für die kostenpflichtigen Tarife nutzen wir AWS CloudFront CDN mit mehr als 450 Standorten rund um den Globus.
-
Ich verwende bereits ein CDN, kann ich das statt eures verwenden?
-
Kurze Antwort: JA. Du musst nur die Domain deines bestehenden CDNs auf die Whitelist setzen, damit Optimole die dort gespeicherten Bilder auswählen kann.
-
Ich benutze bereits ein Plugin zur Bildoptimierung. Warum sollte ich zu Optimole wechseln?
-
Du musst dein bestehendes Plugin zur Bildoptimierung nicht wechseln, wir optimieren nicht nur Bilder, sondern vieles mehr. Wenn du z. B. mit ShortPixel zufrieden bist, kannst du es gerne weiter benutzen. Optimole kümmert sich dann nur darum, dass dein Bild in der RICHTIGEN Größe angezeigt wird, sowie um das Zuschneiden und das intelligente verzögerte Laden.
-
Kann Optimole Bilder aus Ajax-Inhalten verarbeiten?
-
Ja, das tun wir. Standardmäßig verarbeitet Optimole Bilder, die von deinem Ajax-Inhalt aus der admin-ajax.php (nicht angemeldete Benutzer) ausgeliefert werden, sowie von REST-API-Routen von WordPress.
-
Kann ich den verschwommenen Platzhalter aus dem Lazyload-Effekt entfernen?
-
Ja, das kannst du. Du musst diese Funktion nur im Plugin umschalten, wie in diesem Dokument erklärt – https://docs.optimole.com/article/1020-can-i-remove-the-blurry-placeholder-from-the-lazyload-effct
-
Werden die Originalbilder gelöscht?
-
Wir verwenden deine Originalbilder als Quelle, um die optimierten Bilder zu liefern. Es sei denn, du möchtest die Bilder von deinem Server entfernen, um mit Cloud Library etwas Platz zu sparen, indem du die Bilder in die Cloud auslagerst, wie hier erklärt – https://docs.optimole.com/article/1323-cloud-library-browsing
-
Was ist der Unterschied zwischen den Kompressionsstufen Auto, Hoch, Mittel und Niedrig?
-
Eine höhere Komprimierung kann zu einem kleinen Verlust an Bildqualität führen. Wenn du die automatische Komprimierungsstufe auswählst, kann Optimole die Mindestgröße wählen, ohne dass die Qualität deines Bildes beeinträchtigt wird.
-
Ich habe Kraken, Shortpixel, Optimus, EWWW oder WP Smush und Imagify verwendet, wird Optimole meine Bilder weiter optimieren?
-
Ja, Optimole kümmert sich auch darum, dein Bild in der RICHTIGEN Größe für deine Besucher bereitzustellen und es für das bestmögliche Format für ihren Browser zu optimieren.
-
Welche Formate können optimiert werden?
-
Im Moment unterstützen wir die Formate jpg, png und svg.
-
Bietet Optimole automatisch WebP für Chrome-Nutzer an?
-
Ja. Wir erkennen automatisch den Browser des Benutzers und stellen WebP bereit, wenn es unterstützt wird, ansonsten optimieren wir das Bild im Originalformat.
-
Kann ich das verzögerte Laden für PNG-Bilder deaktivieren?
-
Ja. Du musst
define("OPTML_DISABLE_PNG_LAZYLOAD",true);zudeiner wp-config.phpDatei hinzufügen.Du kannst auch die Benutzeroberfläche des Plugins verwenden und Bilder nach ihrem Typ ausschließen, wie hier erklärt – https://docs.optimole.com/article/1191-exclude-from-optimizing-or-lazy-loading
-
Kann ich die Optimierung für ein bestimmtes Bild deaktivieren?
-
Ja, du kannst bestimmte Bilder anhand ihres Namens ausschließen, wie hier erklärt – https://docs.optimole.com/article/1191-exclude-from-optimizing-or-lazy-loading
Wenn du technisch versiert bist und Bilder programmgesteuert durch bestimmte Bedingungen ausschließen möchtest, kannst du diesem Codeschnipsel folgen und das Beispielbild durch das von dir benötigte Bild ersetzen oder andere Bedingungen festlegen:
add_filter('optml_dont_replace_url', function( $old, $url ) { if ( $url === 'https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/1.jpg' ) { return true; } return $old; }, 10, 2);
