🚀 The Power Tools Update

🌟 New Features

  • Smart WebP Compression: ShortPixel now compresses your existing WebP images to save even more space without sacrificing quality.
  • AI-Powered Image Captioning (BETA): Automatically generate meaningful “alternative text(ALT)” for your images using our AI model—great for SEO and accessibility!
  • Global CDN for CSS & JS: Your CSS, JS, and even background images can now be served via ShortPixel's global CDN for faster page loads.
  • CDN Cache Purge Controls: New buttons to purge cached CSS, JS, or the entire CDN cache with one click—right from your dashboard.
  • Save & Restore Settings: Export and import all settings effortlessly — ideal for agencies managing multiple sites.

⚙️ Improvements

  • Cross-Tab Sync: Optimizations done in multiple browser tabs now stay in sync using browser broadcasting.
  • Automatic Association to ShortPixel Account: Your site domain is now automatically associated to your ShortPixel account when enabling CDN delivery.
  • CDN Domain Validation: Prevent misconfigurations with smart validation of your CDN domain format.
  • Cleaner Admin Bar: The ShortPixel icon is now hidden when restoring items to keep your admin interface tidy.
  • CDN Bypass Option: Append ?PageSpeed=off to disable CDN replacement for debugging or testing.
  • WebP Limit Handling: Files that exceed WebP conversion limits are now properly managed to avoid errors.

🛠️ Fixes

  • Lossless Labeling Bug: Fixed an issue where images were incorrectly marked as "Lossless" if the main image wasn't optimized.
  • Sticky Notification: Resolved an issue where the API key notification couldn't be dismissed after saving it from settings.
  • Folder Creation Fix: The plugin no longer attempts to create month-based folders—it now leaves that job to WordPress.
  • File Format Conversions: Improved support for HEIC, TIFF, and BMP file conversion.
  • API Key Onboarding Fix: Pressing Enter now correctly saves your API key during onboarding.

🌍 Language Updates

  • Added 87 new strings, updated 2, and deprecated 28 to enhance global translation support.

Update now for faster speeds, smarter automation, and more control than ever! 🚀
