🥇Le meilleur plugin de gestion des images 🥇
By laplumenchantee on October 28, 2024
QuickWebP porte bien son nom ! C'est rapide, simple et efficace. Copie/Colle ton image. Écris ce que tu veux pour nommer ou décrire et le plugin prend tout en charge. Il remplit toutes les cases (ALT, Légende, etc) et converti au format le plus léger : webp. Que vouloir de + ? Et c'est gratuit.
Top ! Tout simplement
By lorys16fr on October 25, 2024
C'est la seule extension 100% gratuite et sans connexion API avec inscription qui fait 100% le job qu'on lui demande.
Quoi de mieux qu'un plugin avec lequel on ne se prend pas la tête pour ses conversations Webp ? En plus, plus besoin de réfléchir aux balises Alt, le plugin les remplis automatiquement pour vous avec le nom du fichier.
😱 Je ne peux que recommander à tous ce merveilleux outils 🛠️

Nice experience / Fait bien son taff
By Tibow (Pyho) on April 16, 2024
Belle découverte, simple et efficace. Pas de harcèlement publicitaire ni de limites Premium. Le top pour un module gratuit.
Une mise à jour est cependant peut-être requise puisque WordPress dit qu'il n'a pas été mis à jour depuis 3 MAJmajeures de WP.
Un plugin parfait essentiel !
By FLORIAN PRACHE (altitudedev) on January 26, 2024
C'est tout simplement le seul plugin international qui répond parfaitement à la demande de compression nouvelle WEBP et pour le coup aux exigences des navigateurs et des hébergeurs du marché !
Poids réduit, performances accrues, et servitude de .webp aux standards de Google en 2024 !
GRATUIT et SANS ADS !!
Super alternative gratuite aux tenors !
By lqurenssen on January 3, 2024
Très étonné par la rapidité et l'efficacité de l'extension. C'est simple, çà fonctionne... une excellente alternative, gratuite qui plus est, à des ténors trop plébiscités alors que des petites pépites comme celle-ci ne le sont pas !
2 éléments particulièrement appréciables : la barre de réglage permettant de gérer comme on le souhaite sa compression (avec un aperçu immédiat pour s'assurer du résultat avant de valider) et le fonctionnement local de la compression, qui permet un traitement rapide de ses fichiers.
Top!
Super extension
By Alice de Web Essentiel (alicedewebessentiel) on December 4, 2023
Fonctionne parfaitement.
La solution la plus pratique et la plus rapide que j'ai pu trouver jusque là pour alléger d'un coup les images d'un site.
Franchement top, rien à redire
Parfait !
By Melvin Lemoine (mlemoine) on November 29, 2023
Ça faisait longtemps que je cherchais le plugin qui me permette de convertir toutes mes images en webp simplement lors de l'upload, efficacement, et avec la possibilité de personnaliser les réglages pour que ça réponde parfaitement à mes besoins. J'utilise maintenant ce plugin sur tous les sites que je crée !
Excellent convertisseur
By bromeo54 on November 29, 2023
Excellent plugin ! Je l'utilise depuis quelques semaines sur des packages WordPress à moi et j'en suis plutôt content ! C'est une très bonne alternative à Imagify ! Il est gratuit en plus donc bon ...
J'ai juste baissé les paramètres d'optimisation de mes images puisque je fais déjà attention avant de les uploader (j'ai laissé l'opti des images à 80% mais j'ai baissé le paramètre aiguiser à 0% car ca attaquait trop mes images)
De plus les auteurs du plugin sont réactif et disponible via Linked In ou leur site !
