WPMU DEV

💬 "Optimizing a site is much smoother when you have full control over the images along with server configuration, and cache settings. Smush has helped me immensely in this regard."

For developers inheriting messy projects or building large-scale e-commerce stores from scratch, unoptimized images can quietly kill performance. We're glad Smush can take that particular headache off the table.

✅ Bulk image optimization built for scale
✅ Full control over compression settings
✅ Plays well with Hummingbird for even better speed results

💬 "It's an awesome tool for any developer's kit."

Fast sites, happy developers — and we'll keep smushing! 😄

🚢 Ship Happens — databases, backdoors, and a WordCamp schedule worth rearranging your calendar for.

Here's what's inside:
⏸️ WordPress 7.0 delayed — a database rethink pushed it back to beta. Boring headline, important decision.
🗡️ 30+ plugins, one backdoor — a supply chain story with a horror movie timeline.
🥟 WCEU schedule is live — packed with sessions on AI, performance, and accessibility (plus pierogi).
📊 Stats & reads — WC Asia breaks records, accessibility pays, and Gutenberg 22.9 lands with 131 PRs.
✈️ Plus: penguin relationship drama, a guy head over heels for his girlfriend, and some genuinely useful advice if you fall out of a plane.
