HC Image Optimizer for Joomla
HC Image Optimizer is a professional image optimization solution for Joomla 5 and Joomla 6 designed to automate WebP generation, image resizing and image profile management directly within Joomla workflows.
Modern websites depend heavily on images, but oversized files negatively affect page speed, Core Web Vitals, SEO rankings and user experience. HC Image Optimizer was created to solve this problem by automatically processing uploaded images and generating optimized WebP versions while preserving image quality and proportions.
Why HC Image Optimizer?
Many Joomla websites rely on manual image editing before upload or external optimization services. HC Image Optimizer brings the entire optimization workflow directly into Joomla, allowing administrators, editors and content teams to work normally while the extension automatically handles image optimization in the background.
Key Features
Automatic conversion of JPG, JPEG and PNG images to WebP.
Native integration with Joomla Media Manager uploads.
Smart proportional resizing based on the configured maximum dimension.
Support for multiple image profiles.
Independent size and quality settings for each profile.
Preservation of PNG transparency.
Removal of unnecessary EXIF metadata.
Optional preservation of original source images.
Optional replacement of original image references.
Secure file validation and path protection.
Multilingual support.
Joomla 5 and Joomla 6 compatible.
Multiple Image Profiles
Unlike basic image converters, HC Image Optimizer can generate multiple optimized image versions from a single upload.
Examples include:
thumb
featured
card
banner
mobile
custom profiles
Each profile can define:
Maximum dimension.
WebP quality.
Activation status.
There is no fixed limit on the number of profiles that can be configured.
How It Works
User uploads an image.
The extension validates the file.
The image is resized proportionally.
The main WebP version is generated.

The original image is preserved or removed according to configuration.
References can optionally be updated to use WebP files.

Joomill Tag Manager adds all your analytics, marketing and verification tags to your Joomla site from one place. No template overrides, no editing index.php, no FTP. Set up each service in the plugin options, save, and the code lands in exactly the right spot in your page output.
Supported analytics and tag tools
Site verification meta tags
Custom code blocks
Three raw code fields for anything that is not in the list above:
Keep yourself out of your own statistics
Exclude one or more user groups from tracking, for example Administrators and Editors. Logged-in users in those groups are not tracked, so your visits do not pollute your data. Site verification meta tags are still output for everyone, so verification never breaks.
Why use Tag Manager instead of separate plugins or snippets
One plugin, every tag. Stop stacking a separate plugin or manual snippet for each service.
Correct placement. The GTM noscript iframe goes right after and the LinkedIn tag before , which most snippet plugins cannot do.
Frontend only. Nothing is injected in the administrator area.
Privacy-friendly options. Prefer cookieless or self-hosted analytics? Use Matomo or Plausible.
Performance. Preconnect and dns-prefetch hints for Google Tag Manager, and the whole page is rewritten in a single pass.
Secure by design. Every ID is validated against its expected format and escaped for the context it is printed in.
