General Settings

• Enabled – Select “Yes” or “No” to enable or disable the module.

• License Key – Please add the license for the extension which is provided in the order confirmation email. Please note license keys are site URL specific. If you require license keys for dev/staging sites then please email us at [e-mail].

• Compress Product Images via cron – Enable Compression for Product Images via cron. This will compress all your existing product images and new images every 5 mins. We highly recommend leaving this on all the time because this will optimize and compress all the products images in the background.

• Compress Cached Product Images – This feature will further compress cached product images generated by Magento. We would recommend leaving this setting turned off especially when you clear your cached images frequently and you have more than 5 additional images on the product page. These cached images will be compressed and optimised as part of cron job.

• Compress New Product Images – Enable Compression for new product images as soon as they are uploaded via Magento admin. We recommend this to be enabled because all the new product images will be compressed straight away.

• Compress CMS Pages – Enable compression for CMS Images which you upload from Wysiwyg editor within Magento admin.

• Image Compression Provider – Select the compression provider from the list. These are three providers in the drop down. Resmush, ImageOptim and Kraken IO. Resmush is free and for the other two subscribe at their websites.

• Provider API URL – Provider API URL Smush it – http://api.resmush.it/ws.php?img= Imageoptim – http://im2.io/{{username}}/full/ Kraken – https://api.kraken.io/v1/url

• API Key – This will be required for certain providers like Kraken.io

• API Secret Key – This will be required for certain providers like Krake.io

• Thumbnail images size – Provide thumbnail sizes for your product images in a comma separated format for example 50x,56x56,75x. If you are not sure the you can either check sizes under \media\cache\1\small_image folder or just simply save the configuration.

• Small image sizes – Provide small images for your product images in a comma separated format for example 135x,120x120,100x. If you are not sure then you can either check sizes under \media/cache/1/image folder or just simply save the configuration.

• Image sizes – Provide image sizes for your product images in a comma separated format for example 900x,988x988,750x. If you are not sure then you can either check sizes under \media\cache\1\image folder or just simply save the configuration.

• Override Cache Folder Sizes – This allows you to override default cache folder i.e. 9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95 either completely or by size. To replace completely just add the new cache folder name for example 040ec09b1e35df139433887a97daa66f and for size it will be delimited for example 135x|040ec09b1e35df139433887a97daa66f; 125x125|17f82f742ffe127f42dca9de82fb58b1
