###Changing the settings The default image optimizers can be configured by navigating to (Administration -> Settings -> Advanced -> ImageOptimization -> Optimizers).
By default, the ImageMagick optimizer is set to 85/100 quality. To change the compression level, modify the "imageQuality" parameter.
###If you'd like to use the Kraken.io image optimizer
- Head over to Kraken.io and register for an account.
- Enter your API Key and API Secret in the new "KrakenImageOptimizer" configuration section. (Administration -> Settings -> Advanced -> ImageOptimization -> Optimizers -> KrakenImageOptimizer -> Parameters)
Note: By default Lossy optimization is turned off but it's worth turning on if you want to really optimize the images. Check out the docs to see if it's something you're interested in.
###It should go without saying but... Please backup your site (including the database) before installing or using this module. The actual image data is overwritten when it gets optimized. (That means there is no "undo".)
