ShortPixel vs Fluent Compression

I'm attempting to fix the image compression issues and talk about that in this post: https://community.wpmanageninja.com/portal/space/community-meta/post/disabled-webp-but-jpg-compress

What I'd love to do is use ShortPixel to handle image compression. I can really fine tune the settings with them. Is this possible?

I mean, I'd rather just use Fluent Community, but right now the compression is too high. Even if I turn off webp conversion (via the link above) it's still crushing the life out of my jpegs. My community is a filmmaking community where image quality on posts is a big deal.

Thanks for any ideas/features for this. I freaking LOVE this community. Light years better than Buddy Boss.

In the next version, we will add a hook to disable image compression by fluent-community.

Shahjahan JewelΒ right on man! Great to hear. I can't say thanks ENOUGH for your plugins. They have literally made my life better.

Quick question kyler boudreauΒ  why would we want to disable webp? It's currently working on all browsers right?

Curtis MarshallΒ it's not really about webp but the compression settings. And since I can't tweak those, I need it turned off so I can use a service like shortpixel to do it. My community is a behind the scenes community for my film production company, and the compression was toasting the images we upload. At least for this setting.

Yeah, i guess the compression wasn't successful on my images because the uploads would show up blank. So I’m glad you shared how to turn it off for now.
