After a few days work, it was done, and could operate with jpegtran, optipng, and gifsicle installed in my /home/ folder.
EWWW GIFSICLE CODE
I took a look at the source code and wondered if I could rewrite it to work on my webhost. Unfortunately, CW Image Optimizer was built for folks with root (admin) access to their servers, and I was using shared hosting. The other plugin at the time was the CW Image Optimizer, which used command-line tools “under the hood”. However, outages were far too common and it would only optimize images under 1MB, so I didn’t get very far with it. The most popular one was built on the original Yahoo API. There weren’t any good GUI options back in 2012, so I went looking for a WordPress plugin. I was trying to build a business on the side that would cater to making sites fast (Exactly I knew that if it came down to it, they would just upload non-optimized images, and all my work would be for nothing. It was in the Spring of 2012, and I was working on a site for a client that had a lot of images. Shane: To be honest, the inspiration didn’t come until after I had released the plugin and saw the results. Can you start off by telling us a little about yourself and what inspired you to create a kick-ass plugin like EWWW Image Optimizer? BionicWP: Thank you for taking the time out for this interview Shane.
