Excerpt
“This gets a bit tricky, since some of the WordPress image optimizer plugins offer varying levels of optimization. For instance, Imagify has Normal, Aggressive, and Ultra optimization modes. Optimole, on the other hand, optimizes all images based on the same defaults, or the ones set by you.
In addition, some optimizers provide automated resizing tools, which can cut down the file size drastically.”
