PURCHASE FAQ
Key commercial questions before checkout.
How many websites can I use the purchased version on?
The commercial offer provides a lifetime licence for the purchased version for unlimited websites/client sites, subject to the Terms & Licence and applicable open-source rights.
Does the core engine require a cloud account?
No. The product is designed around local/server-side operation for its core functions. Third-party hosting, browsers and platform components still behave according to their own environments.
Are results guaranteed?
No. The engine provides the functions described on this page, but outcomes such as rankings, page-speed scores, security immunity, browser metrics or universal compatibility depend on factors outside the software itself.
DOCUMENTATION
Installation, setup, features, troubleshooting and support.
The product documentation expands the operational details on this commercial page, including installation, configuration, feature use, troubleshooting and support guidance.
WHO IT IS FOR
Designed for website owners, developers and agencies who want direct control.
Omega Image Engine is intended for operators who want a focused specialist engine for WordPress Plugin rather than an all-in-one subscription platform. The licence model makes the purchased version suitable for repeated use across the buyer’s own and client sites, while the product remains independently installable and separately sold.
TECHNICAL BOUNDARIES
Clear limits are part of a serious commercial specification.
- AVIF/WebP output depends on the host and active WordPress image editor.
- Themes, page builders, custom markup and caching/CDN layers can affect final frontend picture/srcset delivery.
- Image optimization cannot by itself guarantee a specific page-speed or Core Web Vitals score.
LOCAL-FIRST ARCHITECTURE
Your engine runs where your website runs.
The core functions described on this page are designed to operate locally on the customer website/server rather than requiring an OmegaWebApps cloud processing subscription. This reduces dependency on remote processing services and keeps operational state under the website owner’s control, subject to the hosting/platform environment.
SAFETY & CONTROL MODEL
Built to make high-impact actions deliberate.
Native WordPress attachment metadata is preserved.
Original attachment images remain fallback sources.
All AJAX administration actions require capability checks and WordPress nonces.
Duplicate cleaner protects registered attachment originals, WordPress sizes and Omega variants.
Generated image files are preserved on uninstall to avoid breaking cached/external references.
No cloud processing credentials or remote optimization account is required.
OPERATING WORKFLOW
From installation to production use.
- Back up the WordPress site/database and install/activate the plugin.
- Open Omega Image and review Status for GD/Imagick, WebP and AVIF output capability.
- Configure AVIF/WebP quality and whether new uploads should be optimized automatically.
- Run Scan Media Library to identify processable attachments.
- Run or resume the authenticated batch to optimize existing attachments.
- Review Media Library status for individual attachment results.
- Use duplicate scanning and preview to inspect exact duplicate orphan files.
- Delete only confirmed unregistered orphan duplicates when appropriate.
DETAILED FUNCTION SPECIFICATION
Technical depth for buyers who want to know exactly what they are purchasing.
Core processing & operation
- WordPress-Native Image Processing: Uses wp_get_image_editor() and the active GD/Imagick editor instead of a remote conversion service.
- WebP Generation: Creates WebP files when the active WordPress image editor supports WebP output.
- AVIF Generation: Creates AVIF files when the active editor/host provides AVIF support and reports capability status in the dashboard.
- Omega Responsive Widths: Generates Omega 320px, 768px and 1536px variants when those widths are smaller than the source image.
- WordPress Sub-Size Next-Gen Siblings: Creates modern-format siblings for existing WordPress-generated attachment sizes, extending optimization across normal Media Library derivatives.
- AVIF-First / WebP-Second <picture> Delivery: Builds modern-format picture sources with the original WordPress image retained as the final fallback.
- Responsive srcset Construction: Builds responsive source sets from available Omega and WordPress image variants for browser-native image selection.
- Attachment Image Filtering: Integrates responsive output with WordPress attachment-image rendering without replacing core attachment records.
- Content Image Tag Filtering: Can enhance eligible image markup in post/page content while preserving original fallback delivery.
Management, automation & diagnostics
- Automatic New-Upload Optimization: Optional setting processes newly created image attachments as they enter WordPress.
- Configurable AVIF/WebP Quality: Dashboard controls allow the operator to choose conversion quality settings for supported modern formats.
- Media Library Scan: Scans processable WordPress image attachments to build the optimization queue and current status.
- Authenticated Batch Optimization: Runs existing-library processing in bounded AJAX chunks protected by manage-capability checks and nonces.
- Run / Resume Batch: Supports resumable processing rather than requiring the full Media Library to finish in one request.
- Media Library Status Column: Adds Omega optimization status information so individual attachments can be reviewed from WordPress media administration.
- Dedicated Omega Variant Metadata: Stores Omega-generated variant data separately in _omega_image_engine_variants.
- Native Metadata Preservation: Leaves _wp_attachment_metadata intact rather than replacing WordPress core image-size records.
- Original Image Preservation: Never requires replacing/deleting the original attachment; originals remain the compatibility fallback.
Safety, integration & lifecycle
- SHA-256 Duplicate Detection: Confirms exact duplicate content with SHA-256 after candidate grouping.
- Protected WordPress Paths: Protects attachment originals, WordPress-generated sizes and Omega variants from duplicate deletion.
- Orphan-Only Duplicate Deletion: Deletion is limited to unregistered orphan duplicate files inside uploads after preview/confirmation.
- Duplicate Preview Endpoint: Provides an administrator preview of duplicate groups before deletion.
- Atomic Diagnostic Manifest: Stores local diagnostic/processing state with atomic writes to reduce partial-state corruption.
- Attachment Deletion Cleanup: Removes Omega metadata/state associated with an attachment when WordPress deletes that attachment.
- Safe Uninstall Behaviour: Removes plugin settings and Omega attachment metadata while intentionally preserving generated files so cached/external references are not unexpectedly broken.
- Scoped Admin Assets: Plugin administration assets are limited to Omega screens rather than globally loading throughout wp-admin.
- Local-First Architecture: No required cloud optimization API, telemetry or remote processing dependency.
