Just call bytepoint before you save the file storage or any other media library that you are using

You can also optimize existing images using the Bytepoint facade

use  FlixtechsLabs\Bytepoint\Facades\Bytepoint;

The parameters are as follows

• the file $filePath is the path to file you want to optimize
• $destinationPath is the path to save the optimized file
