By default, in the free version, GioCompress replaces original JPG/PNG files with optimized WebP versions. In the PRO version, you have the option to choose whether to keep or delete the original files. ### How does the automatic Alt Text generation work? GioCompress analyzes images that either lack an ALT attribute or have an empty one(` alt=""`) and attempts to automatically generate it based on information such as the file name, the image title in the media library, the caption, or the title of the post the image is associated with. This improves the accessibility and SEO of your images. ### Does the plugin use external cloud services for optimization? No, GioCompress is a completely server-side plugin. All optimizations happen directly on your WordPress server. This ensures greater control over your data and no reliance on external services. ### Is the plugin compatible with all themes and page builders? GioCompress is designed to work with most themes and page builders, including Elementor, Divi, and the Gutenberg block editor, thanks to its Output Buffering optimization approach. If you encounter any issues, please report them via the bug report form or email support (for PRO users). ### How can I access the Pro version?
