Description

Feature Description

there should be a compression quality setting - perhaps walled being an "advanced" mode toggle, or some override via a hook in functions or something -sure that's possible currently, though i'm a novice in this regard.

this was prompted because the current compression on webp (and even far more on avif) is overly agressive, and, in our use case compromises too much detail (grainy textures become soft and blurry).

Research direction

Start by reviewing how the plugin currently compresses WebP and AVIF images and whether existing hooks or settings are available. Define the scope of a quality setting or advanced override, including how users select it and how improved detail preservation will be verified.
