The PHP module ‘Imagick’ is not available!


Imagick, the PHP extension for the ImageMagick image processing library, is considered the superior choice for image handling in WordPress. 

It is highly recommended to activate Imagick on your WordPress site if your host does not do that by default. Imagick is mentioned among the highly recommended PHP modules in the WordPress server environment – https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/handbook/server-environment/#php-extensions

How Imagick is used in the Football Leagues plugin

  1. Prevent the creation of duplicate player photos.
    When loading a player photo from the API, Imagick generates an image hash for both new and saved photos. It then compares the hashes and ignores duplicates.
  2. (Coming Soon) Optimize the logos for clubs and competitions by resizing them and converting them to the WEBP format.
