"No problem with it at all, Does what it says it does"

I have installed shortpixel to my Wordpress site and it works in the background, and doesn't bug me. All of my photos look perfect, but are much smaller in size (byte wise).

What do you dislike about Short Pixel?

Nothing really, it does what it says, doesn't get in the way, and does it fast.

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

If you need to reduce the size of your images on your website then you should really look into Shortpixel. It really helped out my speed, and the amount of data on my site.

"The easiest compressor I've come across"
What do you like best about Short Pixel?

1 button. That's all it took. Once I connected it with my WP theme, I clicked one button and ShortPIxel gave me 2x the space.

What do you dislike about Short Pixel?

I can't say I dislike anything in particular. IF I had to complain, the web interface is a little dated now, but then again, I like retro too.

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

I experienced zero problems.

"The Biggest in the Little Game"
What do you like best about Short Pixel?

So I've used several different apps and plugins to help me reduce image size in the past few years and ShortPixel is the best. My favorite thing about ShortPixel would have to be how simple it is to use. It's clear-cut, anyone who knows what they're looking for is going to know that this thing is strong and quick. Their pricing plans are reasonable and if you are looking for a quick and easy to free up some site bandwidth then the Shortpixel compression is for you.

What do you dislike about Short Pixel?

So far I've had no real qualms with the ShortPixel app. I would say that more detailed reporting for the compression would be needed but it would be purely tertiary information.

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

Image optimization and site speed.

"Compress images and serve in next generation format"
What do you like best about Short Pixel?

What do you dislike about Short Pixel?

I do not like Short Pixel's limit of 100 images, although you can increase the limit by purchasing monthly or one-time credits on the Short Pixel website.

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

Shortpixel has improved the loading of my WordPress websites and reduced the loading time. It helps me deliver my content quickly on any network.

"User friendly easy to use compression tool"
What do you like best about Short Pixel?

It provides very simple and easy to use compression methodologies as per our needs. I also like its wordpress plugin it helped me easily optimize complete website inages at the click of a button. I personally use glossy compression techniques as it provides the balance between lossy and lossless.

What do you dislike about Short Pixel?

Sometimes images will have grainy texture after compression which sometimes doesn't look good to use on any platform. And in plugin optimization there is a daily limit which you can optimize.

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

Yes definitely short pixel is helping in improving website speed by easy compression techniques. Thereby improving the website loading time. It also helps in compressingimages in bulk. Also helped in lazy loading

It helped a lot with the website's page speed optimization. The perfect image CDN that helps users load images quickly at their end and ultimately improves the website's performance.

There is not much to dislike in this tool but yes, a few users might find it quite tricky setting up, and images' backup will consume the server's space.

It helps with images optimization and compression. The best part is it offers automatic bulk optimization, which is my favorite. It also shows image optimization stats for transparency.

"Great Integrated Image Optimization"
What do you like best about Short Pixel?

ShortPixel is one of the best plugins I've used for WordPress. While most plug-ins do roughly the same thing, this one seems to give the best results not only in compression, but also in pagespeed delivery.

What do you dislike about Short Pixel?

The credits and costing can be a little more complex than some of the free plugins / unlimited use plugins that are newer to the market. But performance-wise, this is still a staple in my toolbox.

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

ShortPixel optimization really comes in handy on sites where we have multiple administrators who don't understand image pre-processing. This way, we don't have to worry about whether or not they resize, compress, etc...

"Probably one of the best image optimization s/w out there.."
What do you like best about Short Pixel?

The UI is clean. The option to optimize image through URL is probably the best feature. Not a lot of software out there which allows you to compress through url

What do you dislike about Short Pixel?

Its nothing major but i think sometimes the optimization takes a little bit of time. Cant think of any other cons apart from this.

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

For small businesses, Shortpixel is the best image optimization tool you can find in market. Decent prized and has all the features.

Shortpixel WordPress plugins are easy to use, but some images load slow. I need to recheck when the plugin is updated.

"Fast image compressor with bulk capabilities and WP+Shopify plugins"
What do you like best about Short Pixel?

You can drag and drop images/pictures/pds into the box and they get uploaded straight away. Also there are 3 options for you to choose from (Lossless, Glossy and Lossy) - so that you can decide what is your priority: quality vs size

What do you dislike about Short Pixel?

I would love for Shortpixel to introduce the possibility to make even more granular choices of compression. The best would be to install a slider and thus make it possible to choose exactly what output image and quality I'd like to get (vs only 3 options available now). Also, their Shopify plugin which I heavily count on had some issues and I couldn't use it. I hope they sort it out in the future so that it's automatically compresses chosen files

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

I've used Shortpixel multiple times over and over again and I'm still using it almost everyday to minimize existing pictures/photos/designs that I've created or downloaded. I also use the output files on most of my websites. This saves a lot of GBs of traffic on the server (along with using Cloudflare).

"Best Tools for fast optimizing images"
What do you like best about Short Pixel?

Shortpixel is based on a software as a service model and image optimization is offered via API from the cloud. My favorite features are - WordPress plugin, adaptive images wp plugin, reducer API, and short pixel App for zapier.

What do you dislike about Short Pixel?

For 100 Images/month is free but after that, we need to pay or buy a subscription-like - $3/month for 7000 Images, $8/month for 16000 images and so on.

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

Recently got this and replacing the other images compression tolls on all of my and my client's websites, Shortpixel reduces my lots of task and efforts. WordPress plugins are just awesome! for me. Love these tools, Highly recommended.

Shortpixel is the perfect addon to any site that cares about image optimisation and performance. Their new adaptive image technology is a game changer.

Shortpixel hasn't yet developed a direct integration with elementor although they have with Brizy. I hope to see them forming similar partnerships.

Shortpixel understands that we all love adding images to our sites but nobody wants to spend hours in photoshop tweak sizes and resolutions. ShortPixel takes care of all of these annoyances for you.
