## Description

This is not just another converter; it features a **Visual Comparison Dashboard**
that lets you see the quality difference in real-time, ensuring you get the best
performance without sacrificing aesthetics.

### Why You Need This Plugin?

Images often account for the bulk of downloaded bytes on a web page. By optimizing
images, you can:
 * **Improve Page Load Speed:** Faster sites rank better on Google.***
Boost SEO:** WebP is a Google-recommended format for Core Web Vitals. * **Save Bandwidth&
Storage:** Smaller files mean less data usage. * **Enhance User Experience:** Nobody
likes waiting for images to load.

### main Features

#### Visual Quality Comparison (Unique!)

Not sure if compression will ruin your images? Our exclusive **Before/After Slider**
lets you visually compare the original image against the optimized WebP version 
directly in your dashboard. Prove to yourself that quality is maintained!

#### Automatic Conversion on Upload

Forget manual work. The plugin hooks into the WordPress upload process and automatically
converts every new image to WebP instantly.

#### Bulk Optimizer

Have thousands of existing images? Our robust **Bulk Converter** processes your 
entire library in the background. It features a real-time progress bar, skip logic
for already optimized files, and error reporting.

#### Modern & Adaptive Dashboard

We believe admin tools should be beautiful. The plugin features a **Pro UI** built
with:
 * **Data-at-a-glance:** See total images, converted count, and storage savings
instantly. * **Donut Charts:** Visual representation of your library’s optimization
status. * **Toast Notifications:** Non-intrusive alerts for successful operations.***
Responsive Design:** Fully functional on mobile and tablet devices.

#### Smart & Custom Settings

 * **Smart Auto Quality:** Automatically applies the best compression ratio (82%
   for JPEG, 80% for PNG) for the perfect balance of size and quality.
 * **Custom Control:** Want more aggressive compression? Use the slider to set your
   custom quality (1-100).
 * **Safe Mode (Default):** Keeps your original images safe.
 * **Forced Cleanup:** Option to automatically delete original files to save server
   space (use with caution!).

#### Compatibility & Tech

 * **Dual Engine Support:** Works with both **Imagick** and **GD** libraries. The
   plugin automatically detects the best available driver on your server.
 * **Zero Configuration:** Install, activate, and it works. No complex API keys 
   or cloud server registrations required.

## Installation

 1. **Upload:** Upload the `tr-pixel-engine` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. **Activate:** Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. **Check:** Go to the **Auto WebP** menu to view your dashboard.
 4. **Optimize:**
 5.  * For existing images, click **Start Bulk Conversion** on the dashboard.
     * For new images, simply upload them to your Media Library as usual.

## FAQ

### Will this break my site?

No. WebP is supported by all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). The
plugin generates standard WebP files that replace your heavy JPEGs/PNGs.

### Does it delete my original images?

**By default, NO.** Your original JPEG and PNG files remain untouched as a backup.
*
If you want to save server space, you can enable the **“Delete original images”**
option in the Settings tab. **Warning:** This action is irreversible.

### How do I revert changes?

If you kept the original images (default setting), simply deactivate the plugin.
To remove the WebP files, you may need to regenerate thumbnails using a “Regenerate
Thumbnails” plugin, which will restore the usage of your original JPEGs/PNGs.

### What if my server doesn’t support WebP?

The plugin includes a built-in check. If your server is missing the necessary PHP
modules (Imagick or GD with WebP support), a warning will appear on the dashboard.
Contact your hosting provider to enable them.

### Can I choose which images to convert?

Currently, the plugin operates globally on the Media Library. You can filter by 
file type (JPEG vs PNG) in the dashboard to see what’s taking up space.
