Introduction

Cache, Articles Images, Image Management, Content Optimization, Performance

ImageRecycle is a Image and PDF compression extension for Joomla. Your customers are waiting for your pages to load, it can takes long, especially on mobile devices. Even content is served fast by the server, slow connection can make your users leaving.


People are impatient in front a slow loading website, that's the result of a recent study, 4 second loading causing 24% of visitors to leave (Source statistica.com.). Content compression is more efficient than any other optimization tool.

Joomla image compression

Images can represent from 60% to 80% of a page weight, so an optimization can accelerate your page loading by x3 or more.
With an average of 25% of users that leave your website after 4 second of loading page, this is something crucial for your online business. And it's even more important on mobile devices were connection are usually slower.

Compress Joomla image and pdf, not quality

The jpg, png, gif optimization algorithm is capable of reducing the image size by up to 85% (5x +), while the resulting photos are visually identical to the originals. We believe that image and pdf compression is a matter preserving the quality then reduce the size. Reducing the image and pdf size can be done using a massive compression of data and result a worsened quality. We detect already compressed media and return original files.

Select The Server Folders to Run Image and PDF Optimization

In the global configuration you can select which folder you want to optimize. If you're using 3rd party plugins that store images or pdf in root folder you can force image and PDF compression for example. If you uncheck a folder, optimization won't be applied in this folder. Furthermore, it's possible to exclude media compression by selecting a file weight range.

Main features of the image optimizer

  • Compress automatically new images & pdf

  • Run a background optimization of all your images and get notified when it's done
