GIMP is a popular and fairly powerful free image editor from the linux world that is basically like a freeware version of Photoshop, complete with many of the tools used for photo retouching and image manipulation that you’d expect. It’s is a great free PS alternative, but Mac users have long. The Free & Open Source Image Editor. This is the official website of the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP). GIMP is a cross-platform image editor available for GNU/Linux, OS X, Windows and more operating systems.
Gimp.app is a self contained application bundle of the GNU Image Manipulation Program for Mac OS X. It requires Apple's X11. Gimp.app is droppable, uses the gimp.print package built into OS X, and uses the system's default web browser for help and web browsing requests.

Follow the link of the plugin: Your forum profile gives both Windows and Linux as OS, Gimp 2.9.6 so assuming Windows. Unlike Windows Gimp 2.8.x the 2.9 development version does not support 32 bit plugins. I do have a 64 bit Save-for-Web (webexport.exe) - attached, remember to unzip it.
This is a really old plugin, the code needs a re-write but I doubt if that will ever happen. Just about works, throws up error messages, not just deprecated warnings but amazingly does export the file. You will have to put up with the error messages.
Screenshot looks like this: If you do need the linux version, just ask. Attached Files (Size: 32.66 KB / Downloads: 496).

Hello, Thanks for listening. At the moment I use Windows 10, I put the plugin in the right folder, it appeared on the file menu but when I click on it it does not open, only on the second attempt it opens only the error windows and not the plugin. I would like the Linux version too. If there is another similar plugin that has these functions for Gimp 2.9.6 I am also interested in checking. I already tested RIOT but it also did not work on the new gimp. Just checking but you did unzip the file and put it in the Gimp 2.9.6 profile C: Users your-name Appdata Roaming GIMP 2.9 plug-ins Yet another screenshot in Windows 10, showing that it does just about work. Do not expect to get anything other than jpegs as output.
The error messages are a nuisance, just put up with them. Needs updating for Gimp 2.9.x but I doubt if anyone will do it. Exactly the same applies to the Linux version, you failed to say which linux you use, but for what it is worth the linux webexport 64 bit attached.
(the usual, unzip it, check permissions etc) Other than that, You can run both Gimp 2.8 and Gimp 2.9.6 in Windows, why not just use Gimp 2.8 for webexport?

Nothing that I know for Gimp 2.9 When it comes to PNG Gimp already uses maximum (9) compression, so the manual alternatives are. To keep as RGB, Reduce the number of colours: Colors - Posterize (with a suitable) value Scale the image down, or a combination of both. Convert to Color Indexed, which will reduce the number of colours Image - Mode - Indexed then export the image.

If you have a constant set of parameters then maybe a plugin will suffice. (Example: I use one to scale 2/3 and apply a little sharpen, prior to exporting as a 85 quality jpeg. Near enough to put up on imgur.) There are utilities to optimise a png - search for pngcrush or pngout - but IMHO unlikely to make much difference.
