## Description

**Magnet Media Optimizer** is an all-in-one WordPress image optimizer that enhances
your media library by automatically filling in ALT text, captions, and descriptions—
while also converting images to modern formats like **WebP** for maximum performance.

Created by **Plugin Magnet**, this plugin merges the best features of “Alt Bot” 
and “Upload Converter WebP” into a single, powerful image-optimization toolkit.

Improve your website’s **SEO**, **accessibility**, and **page speed** — automatically.

### ✨ Key Features

#### 🔹 Automatic ALT Text Generation

Automatically generate meaningful ALT text using a configurable priority chain of:
–
EXIF metadata embedded in the image – File name (cleaned up automatically) – Post/
attachment title

Supports:
 – Bulk generation – Single generation – Auto-generation on upload – Media
Library buttons – Missing ALT finder

#### 🔹 Automatic Captions & Descriptions

Fills in an image’s caption and description whenever they are left empty, using 
the same source chain as ALT text, for:
 – Better SEO – Improved content clarity–
Stronger accessibility compliance

Existing captions and descriptions are never overwritten.

#### 🔹 WebP Image Conversion

Automatically convert JPEG/PNG images to WebP on upload.

Includes:
 – Bulk conversion tool – Adjustable quality slider – Option to keep or
delete the original file after conversion – Folder exclusion list

#### 🔹 Missing ALT Text Scanner

A complete admin UI showing:
 – Images without ALT text – Status indicators – Quick
one-click fixes

#### 🔹 Centralized Settings Page

Every behavior above — sources used, auto-generation toggles, WebP quality, original-
file handling, excluded folders — is configurable from one Settings screen. No editing
options in the database required.

#### 🔹 Performance-Focused

 * Lightweight
 * No frontend bloat
 * Optimized for large libraries
 * Compatible with all cache plugins

#### 🔹 Works Everywhere

Fully compatible with:
 – Media Library (grid & list) – Gutenberg – Elementor – 
Divi – Bricks – Classic Editor

### 🤖 AI-Powered Generation (Coming Soon)

A future release will let you connect an OpenAI or Anthropic Claude API key and 
choose which model generates your ALT text, captions, and descriptions — for richer,
context-aware results beyond the current EXIF/filename/title chain. A preview of
this option is already visible (disabled) on the plugin’s Settings page.

### 💎 Pro Features (Planned)

 * AVIF conversion support
 * Batch scheduler for huge libraries
 * Custom rules per folder/category
 * Cloud compression

## FAQ

### Does this plugin use AI to generate ALT text?

Not yet. It currently uses EXIF metadata, filenames, and post titles — depending
on your settings. AI-powered generation (OpenAI and Anthropic Claude) is coming 
in a future release; a preview of that option is already visible on the Settings
page.

### Will this overwrite my existing ALT text, caption, or description?

No. The plugin only fills in values that are empty, whether generated automatically
on upload or via the bulk tools.

### Does WebP conversion replace my original images?

No, by default originals are kept alongside their WebP copy. If you’d rather save
disk space, you can enable “Delete original after conversion” on the Settings page—
but this permanently deletes the original file.

### Will this slow down my site?

Not at all. It does not load scripts on the frontend and is optimized for performance.

### Is this compatible with page builders?

Yes — 100% compatible with Elementor, Divi, Bricks, Gutenberg, and all modern builders.

### Can I bulk optimize my old images?

Yes. You can bulk-generate ALT text and bulk-convert images to WebP any time.

## Changelog

#### 1.0.2

 * Added a dedicated Settings page: choose ALT/caption/description sources, WebP
   quality, original-file handling, and excluded folders without touching the database.
 * Added automatic caption and description generation (fills in empty fields only,
   same source chain as ALT text).
 * Added a preview of the upcoming AI-powered generation option (OpenAI / Anthropic
   Claude) on the Settings page.
 * Changed the default for “delete original after WebP conversion” to off, so uploads
   are non-destructive out of the box.
 * Fixed excluded-folder matching so it only matches whole folder names, not any
   file path containing the same digits/text.
 * Fixed a capability mismatch that could deny access to the WebP Converter page
   for users who could see its menu item.
 * Refreshed the admin UI with a consistent color and typography system across all
   plugin pages.
 * Various internal fixes: corrected a stale version constant, added `/vendor/` 
   to the release exclusion list.
