Description

The Speed Up add-on speeds up Modula galleries by adding configurable image compression options, with lossless, lossy, and glossy modes in Modula > Settings > Optimization > Performance. The extension also lets you override the global setting per gallery in the Speed Up tab, helping photographers, visual creators, and websites with many images balance file weight, visual quality, and loading time.

Key Features

  • Lossless compression
    Reduces file size without perceptible loss in quality.
  • Lossy compression
    Produces images with controlled reduction to prioritize faster loading.
  • Glossy mode
    Balances visual quality and speed in galleries with many images.
  • Global configuration
    Applies the default compression type across all galleries.
  • Per-gallery adjustment
    Lets you set your own rules in the gallery’s Speed Up tab.

Speed Up Benefits

  • Lighter pages
    Compressed images reduce the total weight of published galleries.
  • More visual control
    Each gallery can use compression based on its aesthetic importance.
  • Simpler workflow
    Options are available within the screens already used in Modula.
  • Better navigation
    Visitors load galleries with less waiting on visual pages.

Who Is It For?

  • Photographers who publish portfolios with many images in Modula.
  • Agencies and studios that manage visual galleries on WordPress websites.
  • Shops, blogs, and institutional sites that frequently use heavy galleries.

Speed Up acts as an additional module focused on the most sensitive part of galleries: the weight of images loaded on the front end. By centralizing global compression and individual per-gallery adjustments, the component helps keep the editorial workflow within Modula, without relying on external processes for each set of images published.
