# Frequently asked questions
# What platforms are supported by XT MIO?
The XT Massive Image Optimizer (opens new window) package is built on PHP. PHP is a popular general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited to web development. As a consequence, the package can be installed and deployed on most server configurations.
Since the package requires a list of optimization tools (opens new window), you must be able to install them on the server. Alternatively, a Dockerfile
is provided to avoid the installation of the tools, but the server must allow the execution of Docker services.
The XT Massive Image Optimizer command-line is currently in use on servers running:
- WordPress
- Joomla!
- PrestaShop
- Drupal
- Laravel
- TYPO3
- Magento
- LAMP
- Static websites, or
- As a Docker container in any server.
# Which is the best way to execute the optimization process?
If your server has the support of Docker containers, then the execution of the command-line in a container is the best way to install all the necessary tools and fully controlling the process without affecting the rest of the server processes.
# Can the process be executed as a WordPress plugin or Joomla! plugin?
No. Since the optimization process executes several tools iteratively, the command-line can only be run from the terminal or by the Cron Job execution.
