SMNTCS Deactivate image compression

Deactivate the WordPress default image compression which got introduced with WordPress 2.5.

Purpose

By default, WordPress compress every uploaded image by 90%. In combination with other image optimisation tools, this can lead to pixelated images. This plugin deactivates the default image compression to avoid this issue.

1. Upload smntcs-deactivate-image-compression to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
