Erdo Image Optimizer

Description

Erdo Image Optimizer is not just another compression tool; it is a comprehensive Image SEO & Performance Suite. While most plugins only focus on file size, we bridge the gap between performance and search engine visibility.

Our unique «Image SEO Auditor» scans your entire media library and provides a professional health score (0/6) for every single image. We help you identify and fix the most common SEO mistakes that developers often overlook, such as messy filenames, missing alt texts, and incorrect titles.

Why Erdo Image Optimizer?

  • SEO-First Auditing: A professional 6-point scoring system that tells you exactly why your image isn’t ranking.
  • Smart Filename Sanitization: Automatically transforms messy names like «IMG_1234.JPG» into SEO-friendly «professional-web-design.webp» during upload.
  • Next-Gen Performance: Seamless WebP and AVIF conversion to boost your Google PageSpeed Insights scores.
  • Library Cleanup: Identify and remove unused images that bloat your server and confuse search crawlers.
