Bearing in mind compressing images as above is only for those who wish to create a new page or post within SiteContent.

So any old images you may already have on your website you would either need to have a plugin or better plugin within your WordPress site that will help to compress images.

Better still; compress your images before you add them to your media file library within WordPress.

You can also use this tool to compress any images you may already have relating for your website as well as if you are creating new content add them then and hopefully when you hit publish WA compression tools might even add a tad more compression.

You never know every bit helps.

So here is just one way you can compress images using TinyPNG Compression Tool not as a plugin but outside of your WordPress site or any other website you may have elsewhere.

These options relate to using images outside of using SiteContent especially if you are not a Premium member then you might need to either upgrade your membership or find another way to compress your images.

• You may want to reduce images before you add them to your website without the use of a plugin.
• You can also reduce images before using SiteContent for a new page or post and the compression tool within WA could be able to reduce them just a bit more.
• You may be in need of changing any images you may already have in old pages and/or posts. Remember SiteContent is for creating new pages/ posts not for the ones already created.
• You may have a need to compress some images that may or may not relate to your website but want to send elsewhere say via social media.
• There are times you wish to send an image to a friend or family members but the image is far too large and cannot be sent. This compression tool can help you with your images by reducing them to the point is will easily be small enough without losing any quality of the image itself.

So you can see there can be many reasons and perhaps more where having this compression tool can benefit you and not just for your website.

Now as for your website you can also find this Tiny Compression tool as a plugin but you need an API key to register which is not a big problem.

The actual name of the plugin is Compress Jpeg & PNG Images and the other one which is mentioned further is called Smart PNG and JPEG Compression so I will just call both Tiny Compression tool in the general sense.

Here is what the Plugin looks like if you wish to add and install this into your website.

It will give 71 images to be compressed for free each month. Any more you would need to pay for the service.

So unless you are adding more than 71 images a month then as a plugin this is great one to use.

They have other functions but for this training we will only deal with compressing images.

This is what it looks like when you go to their website.

There are some differences with the plugin version and the one above.

As stated before the plugin will give you up to 71 free images per month to compress it is a great tool to use but also note that it just adds to number of plugins you may have on your website.

Also remember it is not necessary the number of plugins you may have on your website it is more the way the plugins with bad coding that could cause issues either with your theme chosen or with other plugins.

The website version has a total limit 25MB should you use all the images at once which is 20.

Once you use the 20 images and down load them to your computer which I will show you soon all you have to do is refresh your browser and you can download another 20 images and keep doing this each time.

You can pay for the service to get unlimited use of image compression just like the plugin version but why pay for it when you can do the same for free just with a smaller load each time you use it.

That is your choice to make.
