Kraken Image Optimisation
=========================

[](#kraken-image-optimisation)

This module will optimise all images uploaded to products pages & CMS pages through Kraken, saving vital disk space and increasing page load speeds.

You can optimise existing images using the `bin/magento gene:kraken:optimise [directory] [skipcache]` command. *Be sure to take a backup of the directory first as the module will overwrite the existing files.**Cache files are included by default.*

Support
-------

[](#support)

This module is provided as open source with no support provided.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

1. A [Kraken](https://kraken.io/) account
2. Magento 2.1 and 2.2+ and 2.3+ Commerce/OpenSource

Setup Guide
-----------

[](#setup-guide)

1. Create an account on [Kraken](https://kraken.io/)
2. Retrieve your [API Credentials](https://kraken.io/account/api-credentials) from the Kraken web interface
3. Install this module using the command `composer require gene/module-kraken`
4. Run `bin/magento setup:upgrade`
5. In the Magento admin, navigate to Stores -> Settings -> Configuration -> GENE Commerce -> Kraken.
6. Enter your API Credentials from step 2 and select "Yes" for the "Enable Kraken Image Optimisation" option.
7. Save your configuration and flush the Magento config cache

How does it work?
-----------------

[](#how-does-it-work)

The core Magento class `Magento\Framework\File\Uploader` is overriden in order to send any uploaded images (in their temporary storage state) to Kraken for optimisation ([code reference](https://github.com/genecommerce/module-kraken/blob/develop/Model/Overrides/FrameworkUploader.php#L43)). This ensures any subsequent resizing by the Magento platform is done on the optimised image.

If Kraken does not return a valid response, [the error is logged](https://github.com/genecommerce/module-kraken/blob/develop/Model/Optimise.php#L129) to the core Magento log files. Equally if Kraken does not return a response within 30 seconds the optimisation will be skipped. In all instances, the module fails gracefully in order to ensure the image is still uploaded.
