About a year ago, I build a simple plugin for Umbraco 8 that allows you shrink your image via TinyPNG or reduce the image size using ImageProcessor (which is built into Umbraco).

This allows the editor to decide how they want to optimise their images, rather than doing it automatically.

nuget

Install-Package punkOptimise.Core

Basic Requirements

Umbraco 8.4+

Instructions

Install the nuget package:

Install-Package punkOptimise.Core

Add the following config to your web.config:

<add key="punkOptimise:ReduceFileExtensions" value="jpg,jpeg" />

<add key="punkOptimise:ShrinkfileExtensions" value="png" />

<add key="punkOptimise:DefaultQuality" value="70" />

<add key="punkOptimise:TinyPng:ApiUrl" value="https://api.tinify.com/shrink" />

<add key="punkOptimise:TinyPng:ApiKey" value="" />

Complete the TinyPNG developer API key registration: https://tinypng.com/developers

Add the key to the config above: punkOptimise:TinyPng:ApiKey
