What it helps with
A site owner can improve image use without losing originals or treating a suggested crop as an irreversible edit.
Cadizo Media Optimizer is a paid, connected WordPress workflow. It uses the Cadizo account connected through Hub, so there is no provider key to paste into the site and no free inference path to manage.
How to use Media Optimizer
Select media, provide the site context and permitted output choices, then review the optimization plan before creating derivatives.
- Install the package. Download the ZIP, open WordPress Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, and activate it.
- Connect through Hub. Install Cadizo Hub if it is not already active, then connect the site once to the Cadizo account.
- Review before acting. Use the workflow with your own evidence and policy, then let the responsible editor decide what happens next.
Example: An editor reviews suggested crops and formats for a homepage image, approves one derivative, and keeps the uploaded original intact.
What stays in your control
It preserves the source media and does not replace files, change an attachment, or publish a derivative without approval.
One account across the factory
Cadizo Credits are shared across compatible workflows. Standard work costs 1 credit, Better costs 3, and Best costs 5. The workflow tells the site its tier before it starts; a refused or failed request is not charged.
