"Been using shortpixel for years on every website"
What do you like best about Short Pixel?

shortpixel is amazing, they do what they do and they do it well and the CDN is Bunny Witchi, which is my favorite CDN, so how can I ask for anything more? This my must-have wp plugin with every website I setup.

What do you dislike about Short Pixel?

I think the UI could improve, but ultimately functionality is key. It's currently working well and improving over time. So keep up the amazing work. I think I had one issue in the past few years and the support team got back to me and sorted it all out in under a few hours.

What problems is Short Pixel solving and how is that benefiting you?

They improve my image optimization, decrease server load, and resize all my images. Image optimization is no longer a concern for me. I can't even imagine running a website without ShortPixel.

"The Best Tool For Reducing Images Size Without Affecting Their Quality"
What do you like best about Short Pixel?

Its image size reduction feature is very powerful. There are many image compression tools available, but they degrade the quality. This tool, however, does not compromise quality but reduces the size of the image to the maximum extent possible. This is always my go-to tool for reducing image size before publishing articles on my website as reduced image sizes lead to faster page loads.

What do you dislike about Short Pixel?

In ShortPixel, the images are compressed using credits. If you want to compress more images, then you will need to purchase more credits. At present, there are no inexpensive plans that offer unlimited credits that could be implemented in order to facilitate users. Furthermore, the reduction cannot be controlled using a slider, so they may want to consider adding that as well.

What problems is Short Pixel solving and how is that benefiting you?

I reduce the size of the images with ShortPixel. Some online forms allow very small-size images to be uploaded. Using this image compressor tool, I am able to submit documents with very small sizes without losing images quality. Furthermore, the images I use on my website articles are uploaded after they are reduced in size with this tool. The pages load more quickly.

Nothing. It works extremely well with no issues.

"Quick and easy plugin and optimizer for your website images!"
What do you like best about Short Pixel?

I like the plugin to my website that automatically shrinks my image when I upload them the first time.

What do you dislike about Short Pixel?

That it uses credits up fairly quickly and you have to load more dollars. It depends on the plan and there is even a free option. So you should definitely try it.

What problems is Short Pixel solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am shrinking my website images so that load time speeds up. There are many reasons for this and ranking on Google and user experience is two of them.

"Best tool to compress photos up to 90% of the original size without affecting the quality of image"
What do you like best about Short Pixel?

While I was browsing the internet for tools that would be able to compress photos without affecting the original image quality, I came across about shortpixel. I've been using it for a while now and I can tell you that not only is it the best tool to optimize photos, but also the fastest one to use . The interface is clean and easy to understand, which makes it really intuitive. The best thing about short pixel is that they provide a monthly quota of 100 images can be any time in the month

What do you dislike about Short Pixel?

The only thing I dislike about this wonderful tool when it comes to adding a shortpixel plugin for the WordPress website it is difficult to find their some initially in plugin database which you can easily ignore

What problems is Short Pixel solving and how is that benefiting you?

I would have been lost with my company WordPress website without shortpixel. Before shortpixel, it took a lot of time to optimize my images. We are just a small digital marketing and creative agency. I tried other image optimization website but they always affected the quality of the image and provide only limited use or only 1 credit on a daily basis, which just made me worse off in the long run shortpixel helps us to rank better in SERP by increasing my organization WordPress website ranking by optimizing the image without affecting the quality

"Quick & Easy Image Optimization for Your Website"
What do you like best about Short Pixel?

What i like best about ShortPixel is the ease of use. Create an account and install the plugin on your WordPress site and you're good to go. Other compression plugins will want you to do a LOT of configurations, but ShortPixel is so simple that you spend more time on the important stuff, rather than the admin

What do you dislike about Short Pixel?

What i dislike about ShortPixel is if you're on the free tier, you do need to manually optimize your images. Reason for this is the free tier gives you a certain number of credits that gets replenished each month. You then have to go login to your WordPress account and "optimize" your images once you get your credits.

What problems is Short Pixel solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main problem im solving with ShortPixel is website speed. Often, i get images from unplash or pixabay. These are hi-res photos and often take up a lot of storage space/size on the server, as well as add to the loading speed of each page they are on. Using ShortPixel compresses and optimizes these photos to the best settings possible. This greatly improves my website's loading speed.

"SO helpful, especially when your website has so many images"
What do you like best about Short Pixel?

I loved using Short Pixel on sites where previous developers didn't optimize any of the sites' images. So the speed is super slow, everything takes a while to load, etc. But with Short Pixel, it's a super simple fix.

What do you dislike about Short Pixel?

I actually don't have anything to dislike. I think at first, it was confusing how it works and what the settings were, but after a while, it was super easy. So nothing really!

What problems is Short Pixel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Trying to resolve the issues of: poor SEO, slow page load, images loading forever, etc. - overall a better user experience for all of our websites. I think it does a great job of it.

The plugin comes with free monthly credits, and it's effortless to set up and works well with many other plugins for a better-performing SEO site.
