Faster Images, Better SEO, Zero Effort

BD Image Optimizer compresses your images, converts them to WebP, resizes oversized uploads, and even generates alt text using AI — all from inside WordPress. No external services, no monthly API fees for optimization, and no image quality loss you can actually see.

Key Features

  • Lossy & Lossless Compression — Compress JPEG and PNG images using PHP GD with configurable quality (default 82%). Typical savings: 30-60%.
  • WebP Conversion — Automatically create WebP versions of every image. WebP files are 25-35% smaller than JPEG at equivalent quality.
  • WebP Serving — Serves WebP images to supported browsers using <picture> elements. No .htaccess hacks, no server configuration needed.
  • Auto-Resize Large Images — Automatically downscale images that exceed your configured maximum dimensions (default 2560px).
  • Auto-Optimize on Upload — Every new image is compressed, converted, and resized the moment you upload it.
  • Bulk Optimization — Optimize your entire media library in one click. Chunked processing handles libraries of any size.
  • Original Backups — Keep backups of original images so you can restore them anytime with one click.
  • AI Alt Text Generation (Pro+) — Generate descriptive, SEO-friendly alt text for every image using Claude AI. Supports 12 languages.
  • Your Own API Key (Pro+) — Uses your own Anthropic API key for alt text. You pay only for what you use — typically less than $0.001 per image.
  • Thumbnail Optimization — Compresses and converts all WordPress-generated thumbnail sizes, not just the original.
  • White Label (Agency) — Remove BD branding for client sites.

"Switched off two security plugins to install this. The admin menu is one row deep, not seven. The auto-update flow through the WP updates screen just worked."

questions before you buy

The buy-time questions.

Six honest answers to the things buyers usually ask before they click checkout.

How does the license actually activate?

After checkout, your license key emails to you immediately. Install the plugin, paste the key in the plugin's License tab once per site, click Activate. From that point on, updates flow through the WordPress updates screen like any other plugin — no per-update copy/paste.

What does the 30-day refund actually cover?

Full refund, no forms, no "tell us why." Email hello@getbdshield.com within 30 days of purchase and we issue the refund the same business day.

What happens when my license expires?

The plugin keeps working with every feature active. You stop getting updates and support until you renew. We never disable features to pressure renewal.

Does this conflict with other plugins in the same category?

For security/firewall plugins specifically: yes — running two firewalls causes duplicate rules and lockouts. Disable any other plugin in the same category before activating. For non-overlapping categories (backup + speed, for example), no conflict.

Who replies if I open a support ticket?

Our team. There's no tier-1 outsource — tickets land with the engineers who wrote the plugin you're asking about. Most replies inside one business day.

Can I use it across client sites if I'm an agency?

Yes — Agency-tier licenses cover up to 25 sites, including clients. You stay the license holder; clients don't need accounts on getbdshield.com.
