Can I optimize with WP-CLI?
1 min read · Last updated June 2026
No. SlashImage does not have any WP-CLI commands yet - WP-CLI support is planned for a future update. For a large library, use the Bulk Optimize page instead - it is built for exactly that.
Optimize a large library instead
The Bulk Optimize page runs a background queue designed for libraries with thousands of images. It works through them on the server using WordPress's own scheduler, so processing continues after you navigate away.
- Go to Media > Bulk Optimize.
- Click Start Bulk Optimization.
- Leave the page and come back later to check progress.
For the full walkthrough, including pausing and re-optimizing, see How do I optimize images I already uploaded?.
