Optimizing the backend is still worth doing for backend users!
Converting all images to base64 is not always the best solution and can reduce the *perceived* performance of a website - see http://davidbcalhoun.com/2011/when-to-base64-encode-images-and-when-not-to/
FileOptimizer includes pngoptimizer and many other optimizing tools so it provides the best possible file compression.
Also, pngoptimizer does not process JPEGs whereas FileOptimizer does. It's open source and free. Give it a go!
