 The problem is that WordPress uploads large, unoptimized images, which
 slows down websites, consumes excess storage, and hurts SEO. The current
 solutions—manual optimization, server-side plugins, or third-party
 services—are inefficient, resource-intensive, or costly.

 The proposed solution is to use the HTML5 Canvas API / Web Worker to
 automatically optimize images within the user's browser before they are
 uploaded, making the process faster and more efficient.
