Documentation Is:

  • Missing
  • Needed
  • Confusing
  • Not Sure?

Please Explain in Detail...

squoosh is no longer maintained: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@squoosh/lib

It also has memory leak issues that we encountered during deployment: GoogleChromeLabs/squoosh#1195 . For the reason above, this will not be fixed.

I think this is enough to mark the package as deprecated.

Also link in Optimize with [squoosh](https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/squoosh/tree/dev/libsquoosh) broken

Your Proposal for Changes

Yeah, PR welcome

imagemin is too heavy, and squoosh is not working on Nodejs 18+.

Now I am using these packages instead:

It's time to create new minimizes for image-minimizer-webpack-plugin,
for example: https://github.com/best-shot/best-shot/blob/03d837dac3ba76ea5b37f676183d74fb0ab165b3/packages/preset-asset/lib/minify.mjs
