Will Image Optimizer update images that have already been uploaded and already in use by blog posts or must all images be re-uploaded to be run through the optimizer ?
Hello Tony,

Existing images cannot be optimized and the optimization only occurs on new uploads.

For anyone running a blog they would have tons of images and to have to go and re-upload them all would make you want to consider an alternative solution that can do the old images as well as new ones and this could impact on uptake of the Optimizer so probably worth adding this feature sooner rather than later.

Thanks for your input on this Tony and yes, this is something that we are looking at but looking at how we can queue this without affecting the performance of your server (some hosting companies will not like sites making a lot of outgoing request all the time) and it also eats up your bandwidth too.

If you can bring this also for existing images and the rest of your components you have a customer more for this service

For us we don't mind the calls as we run our own servers so being able to get the images optimized is more important and from an SEO perspective it is essential.

Thanks for your input on this Tony, but most of the user website is not using their own server, different hosting companies also have different number of request restriction and etc. We will see if we can find a better way to handle it for both in the future.

same here...

are there any news for optimizing existing images?
it's interesting, you bring one new product (nativ app, converseKit desktop) after the other on the market and forget to optimize the existing ones!

We are looking at how we can send existing images to the optimization service via cronjobs but at this point of time I do not have any ETA on this.
