  Why Doesn’t this plugin Work For Me?

server. If you have access to your server they are quite easy to install. if you
are on a shared host then please ask your webhost to install them

### 󠀁[Currently broken](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/currently-broken-3/)󠁿

Plugin is incomplete, sends all file types to jpegoptim rather than the correct 
respective tool. Requires you to install composer packages but no composer.json 
included. If you get past those two problems, there is an infinite loop.
