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.

One of our galleries was taking over three minutes to load until we installed this plugin.... Went down to less than 3 seconds.
