I'm considering offering some additional features as paid options. Currently, the system only optimizes images from the URL you provide, but one potential premium feature could be to allow the system to crawl all internal pages of a website, optimizing images across the entire site. This would make it easier for users who want to optimize all their content by simply submitting the homepage URL.

However, this is a double-edged sword: I might encounter sites with a large number of internal pages, which would complicate the resources needed to provide an efficient and sustainable service.

Another option I've thought about is offering a CDN service to directly serve optimized images, improving performance without the need for users to manually download and upload images. It does become more complex when charging users, as reliability, support, and infrastructure take on a much greater role.

You may also want to consider offering an API. I currently use (and pay for) the TinyPNG API.
