Description
The problem is that WordPress uploads large, unoptimized images, which slows down websites, consumes excess storage, and hurts SEO. The current solutions—manual optimization, server-side plugins, or third-party services—are inefficient, resource-intensive, or costly.
The proposed solution is to use the HTML5 Canvas API / Web Worker to automatically optimize images within the user's browser before they are uploaded, making the process faster and more efficient.
