Automated Image Optimization for Directories
Compress listing and directory images to modern WebP in one click with ConvertHub. This integration lets you shrink PNG/JPG uploads by up to 70% without touching the original URLs, lifting Core Web Vitals scores across your directory.
Key Features
- Convert PNG and JPG → WebP at any scale, from a single listing to thousands across your directory.
- Per-category dashboard — pick exactly which surface to optimize: Listings, Directory branding, Articles, or Organizers.
- Live ConvertHub credit balance — see remaining credits in the dashboard header before you spend.
- In-place replacement — the listing/article URL stays the same, only the file gets smaller.
- One-click retry on failure — failed conversions land in a dedicated table with a Retry action per row.
- Manual control — no conversion ever runs automatically on upload, so you stay in charge of credit spend.
How to Set Up
- Create a ConvertHub account and grab your API key from the developer dashboard.
- Go to Settings → Integrations inside Directify.
- Paste your API key into the ConvertHub section and click Save. Directify validates the key with ConvertHub before storing it (encrypted at rest).
- Open the new Settings → Image Optimization page, pick a category card, and click Optimize.
How It Works
- Eligible images — Directify scans your directory and counts every PNG/JPG that has not already been optimized. WebP/AVIF originals are skipped automatically.
- Optimize on demand – click the Optimize button on any category card and Directify queues a background job per image.
- Background conversion – each job submits the source URL to ConvertHub, polls until the conversion is ready, downloads the WebP, and swaps the file in place on your CDN.
- Failure handling – if a conversion fails (out of credits, network blip, unsupported source), the original is untouched and the failure appears in the Failed optimizations table with a one-click Retry.
With ConvertHub, you can shrink your image footprint, speed up your pages, and lift SEO scores — without changing a single listing URL. 🚀
