Run Bulk Queues and Review Media Library Savings

Process large libraries in bounded jobs and review status from the Media Library.

Applies to 1.0.1+ Free Stable Verified August 3, 2026

Queue processing avoids one long request and keeps per-attachment status, failures, and estimated savings visible.

Open the feature

Go to Media > Media Optimizer.

Before you start

  • Schedule large jobs outside peak traffic.
  1. Analyze the library first.
  2. Start a bounded optimization queue.
  3. Monitor progress and failures.
  4. Open Media Library and sort or review the Savings column.
  5. Retry only failed attachments after resolving their cause.

What success looks like

  • The queue reaches a terminal state.
  • Savings and coverage totals reflect completed attachments.

Important notes

  • Storage can temporarily increase because originals, sidecars, and backups coexist.

Release and support resources

Queue and reporting fixes in 1.0.1

  • Queue locking prevents overlapping workers; restore batching and AVIF CLI totals now use the corrected accounting path.
  • Cached reports are bounded, so use the per-attachment result when investigating an older failure outside the current summary window.
