No. EWWW still runs the bulk optimizer and the async worker. The bot reads the resulting ewwwio_images and ewwwio_queue rows and gives you a chat surface to ask about progress, failures, and gaps. Most teams keep the bulk run as a manual admin action and use the bot for daily status visibility.

Yes. EWWW exposes the active binaries and their versions through its settings, and SleekAI can map those into the system message. The bot can answer, are we using Pngquant 2.18 or the cloud API for PNGs, and that matters when you debug shared hosting where local binaries are restricted.

Yes. If Easy IO is active, EWWW stores the CDN URL and the active subscription level. The bot reads those settings, plus the Easy IO traffic counters where available, and tells you what share of traffic is served from the CDN as WebP or AVIF vs the origin fallback.

Yes. After a migration, mismatched paths can leave ewwwio_images rows that no longer point at real files on disk. The bot can list rows with missing files by joining ewwwio_images against wp_posts attachments, so you spot orphans and clean up before a backup overwrites them.

Yes. EWWW writes per-site tables on multisite, and SleekAI can scope by blog id. You can run one admin bot per site that only reads its own ewwwio_images table, or a network admin bot that aggregates across all sites for performance reports across the network.

Only to your LLM provider. SleekAI sends the relevant context to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or OpenRouter under your own API key. There is no SleekAI server in the data path. If your security policy requires it, pin to a provider that offers zero data retention on their enterprise tier.

Yes. Based on file sizes, mime types, and current converted flags, the bot can suggest moving large product photos to Lossy level and keeping logos at Lossless. It always quotes the current EWWW setting per attachment so you know what state you started from before changing anything.

EWWW serves WebP via picture tags or via rewrite rules. The bot can quote which method is active and which images have WebP variants, and it can spot fallback files that never rendered for IE 11 or older Safari, useful when your CDN cache returns the wrong variant intermittently.
