ShortPixel is the best tool for image compression on the net, have a nice plugin for wordpress I try several tool like wp-smush, wpcompress but ShortPixel bring the best results The solution of shortPixel bring is decreasing file size while maintaining image quality, so you can delivery content more faster without losing quality I love about Shortpixel is - Super easy to use. - Easy to setup - Really Afordable pricing - Several Plans - Wordpress plugins and API - Bulk Process - PDF support - Transform to other formats - Many options (like compress thumbails or not, api, backup) - Agency options Also the pricing is really good, because you can choose a montly plan or a quota, this is really good if you need to compress 1 time alot of images.

What do you dislike about Short Pixel?

The only counter is you cannot compress the thumbails on one quality and the other images on other quality. Would love if they add remove backup like wpcompress I try the cdn and hate it, not good and they go expensive. I do recomend avoid that

"Simple and powerful!!"
What do you like best about Short Pixel?

ShortPixel Image Optimizer is an incredibly powerful WordPress Plugin. With this Wordpress Plugin you can compress images of different formats: GIF, PNG and JPG. And the most interesting thing for me, is that You can even compress PDF documents and also provides the option to keep the original images in a separate folder. It is a simple but very useful tool to reduce space and size without losing quality the images you want

What do you dislike about Short Pixel?

It has a limited capacity of images that you can compress. You can only compress 100 images per month in the free version. And the waiting time in the conversion is decent but it can be improved

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

In my department we have a type of internal bulletin that is published in Wordpress and, sometimes, we need to share large images that we obtain through our design softwares. As well as other times we need to share PDF documents that, when compressed, are easier to share and download.

"Very easy to improve your SEO"
What do you like best about Short Pixel?

It is very easy to use and helps optimize my site so that I easily rank higher. It's literally a 2 step process that forever makes my website better.

What do you dislike about Short Pixel?

Their pricing model is based on number of photos, but each picture has many smaller pictures that your website makes automatically. This ends up using a lot of credits. So just plan accordingly.

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

It helps me optimize my website to rank higher on Google.

"Okay, but not the best"
What do you like best about Short Pixel?

The tool is easy to use and does the job

What do you dislike about Short Pixel?

Webp is not supported in older version of safari

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

We realized at one point that the images on one of our site wasn't getting optimzed at all. We had to contact them and they have fixed it for us. But eventually since we realized the url wrapping around the images effects seo slightly we have stopped using the service.

"Sp review "
What do you like best about Short Pixel?

I have used multiple apps to try to help me reduce sizes in images over the past few months and so far short pixel has been one of the better ones. I like the pricing plans the most as they aren’t too pricy like a few I’ve seen.

What do you dislike about Short Pixel?

Since I just started using it, I haven’t had any time to find any issues yet. So far everything is pretty self explanatory since I do have experience in softwares like these

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

Because of the image optimization things have become easier since I have plenty space left

"One of the Best Image Optimizer out there"
What do you like best about Short Pixel?

Its interface is easy to use, I used it as the WordPress plugin, easy to use, and one-click optimization for 1000s of images. It's the ability to remove EXIF data just by checking the box in the settings. I also love that it can convert pictures to WebP.

What do you dislike about Short Pixel?

The thing I most dislike about short pixel is, it won't remove the big images from the server even though there is an option for it and when rechecking those files will get compressed again creating more files and wasting credits. Sometimes already optimized images will load again.

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

The Main Problem with my client's website was, "It was slow" and the main reason is, the images on the website, there were 1000s of Images and each image has a size of 2-4 MB. So we use ShortPixel to compress and optimize those images and it did the job, instead of manually doing it, one-click completes the work, and also WebP conversion is an amazing feature, it boosts website speed as well as SEO
