Magnet Media Optimizer – Alt Text, Captions, Descriptions & Convert to WebP

Opis

Magnet Media Optimizer is an all-in-one WordPress image optimizer that enhances your media library by automatically filling in ALT text, captions, and descriptions — while also converting images to modern formats like WebP for maximum performance.

Improve your website’s SEO, accessibility, and page speed — automatically.

✨ Key Features

🔹 Automatic ALT Text Generation

Automatically generate meaningful ALT text using a configurable priority chain of:
– EXIF metadata embedded in the image
– File name (cleaned up automatically)
– Post/attachment title

Supports:
– Bulk generation
– Single generation
– Auto-generation on upload
– Media Library buttons
– Missing ALT finder

🔹 Automatic Captions & Descriptions

Fills in an image’s caption and description whenever they are left empty, using the same source chain as ALT text, for:
– Better SEO
– Improved content clarity
– Stronger accessibility compliance

Existing captions and descriptions are never overwritten.

🔹 WebP Image Conversion

Automatically convert JPEG/PNG images to WebP on upload.

Includes:

– Option to keep or delete the original file after conversion
– Folder exclusion list

🔹 Missing ALT Text Scanner

A complete admin UI showing:
– Images without ALT text
– Status indicators
– Quick one-click fixes

🔹 Centralized Settings Page

Every behavior above — sources used, auto-generation toggles, WebP quality, original-file handling, excluded folders — is configurable from one Settings screen. No editing options in the database required.

🔹 Performance-Focused

  • Lightweight
  • No frontend bloat
  • Optimized for large libraries
  • Compatible with all cache plugins

🔹 Works Everywhere

Fully compatible with:
– Media Library (grid & list)
– Gutenberg
– Elementor
– Divi
– Bricks
– Classic Editor

🤖 AI-Powered Generation (Coming Soon)

A future release will let you connect an OpenAI or Anthropic Claude API key and choose which model generates your ALT text, captions, and descriptions — for richer, context-aware results beyond the current EXIF/filename/title chain. A preview of this option is already visible (disabled) on the plugin’s Settings page.

Najczęściej zadawane pytania

Does this plugin use AI to generate ALT text?

Not yet. It currently uses EXIF metadata, filenames, and post titles — depending on your settings. AI-powered generation (OpenAI and Anthropic Claude) is coming in a future release; a preview of that option is already visible on the Settings page.

Will this overwrite my existing ALT text, caption, or description?

No. The plugin only fills in values that are empty, whether generated automatically on upload or via the bulk tools.

Does WebP conversion replace my original images?

No, by default originals are kept alongside their WebP copy. If you’d rather save disk space, you can enable „Delete original after conversion” on the Settings page — but this permanently deletes the original file.

Will this slow down my site?

Not at all. It does not load scripts on the frontend and is optimized for performance.

Is this compatible with page builders?

Yes — 100% compatible with Elementor, Divi, Bricks, Gutenberg, and all modern builders.

Can I bulk optimize my old images?

Yes. You can bulk-generate ALT text and bulk-convert images to WebP any time.

Rejestr zmian

1.0.2

  • Added a dedicated Settings page: choose ALT/caption/description sources, WebP quality, original-file handling, and excluded folders without touching the database.
  • Added automatic caption and description generation (fills in empty fields only, same source chain as ALT text).
  • Added a preview of the upcoming AI-powered generation option (OpenAI / Anthropic Claude) on the Settings page.
  • Changed the default for „delete original after WebP conversion” to off, so uploads are non-destructive out of the box.
  • Fixed excluded-folder matching so it only matches whole folder names, not any file path containing the same digits/text.
  • Fixed a capability mismatch that could deny access to the WebP Converter page for users who could see its menu item.
  • Refreshed the admin UI with a consistent color and typography system across all plugin pages.
  • Various internal fixes: corrected a stale version constant, added /vendor/ to the release exclusion list.
