"A perfect tool to help us keep our client sites optimized"
What do you like best about Short Pixel?

We purchased two ShortPixel codes for a lifetime subscription when it was featured on AppSumo. While you definitely could not beat the price, the tool itself is super easy to use and offers an API which we are taking full advantage of for our client sites using Craft. There is also a ShortPixel Wordpress plugin if you use Wordpress. ShortPixel can also optimize other file formats that some of the free compression tools we were previously using did not include.

What do you dislike about Short Pixel?

We really have no complaints at this time, especially if you factor in the priced we paid for a lifetime subscription.

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

Designing and building websites is part of what we do. ShortPixel allows us quickly optimize images and once we take full advantage of the API the process will be completely hands-off and our clients can update their site imagery without worrying about file size.

"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.

I can easily compress many images with high compression rate, and the developer-friendly API. Sub account feature is nice for agency.

The ShortPixel Adaptive Images plugin with their CDN needs some optimizations.

No need to optimize many images by myself before uploading them to Web site.
