New Plugin
I added Smush by WPMU. This plugin watches images that are being uploaded to blogs and shrinks them down to a more reasonable size. This is good for a couple reasons. First, WordPress doesn’t even use full size images. At least, not really. So, having a photo straight off your phone that is the size of a building just takes up a lot of space and, if, for some reason, you tell WP to display that image on a page, it takes FOREVER for the image to display. This plugin will limit the max size of an image stored on the server to 2048×2048 pixels. That should be big enough to fit any needs. The second reason is simply disk space. I’m running the plugin now to “smush” images that are already on the server and one blog is 15% of the way through its images and has already saved over 200MB of disk space. Doesn’t sound like a lot, but if we can save a gig here or a gig there, that’s a big difference to a web server.
As always, if you notice any issues, just let me know. There were a lot of updates today.
