I like the plugin to my website that automatically shrinks my image when I upload them the first time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are many image optimizers out there and this one is really easy to set up and use. Give it a try at least on their free plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ShortPixel?

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ShortPixel?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ShortPixel 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ShortPixel?

I am using ShortPixel for technical SEO (Core Web Vitals). To optimize the site speed and make the images load faster. It's a free and easy tool to optimize the images and it gives multiple options to control the image quality. It also gives an instant preview of the optimized image and comparison against the original image. Incredible tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ShortPixel?

I like this tool and there's nothing I don't like about this tool. But certainly, there's always room for improvement. They have plugins ready for Wordpress but if they could get an app for Shopify that would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ShortPixel solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am optimizing the images for my SEO projects. Mainly when it comes to optimizing images without losing the quality. On top of that its seamless UI makes it easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ShortPixel?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ShortPixel?

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ShortPixel?

I really like being able to prepay a set amount and let it run optimizing, either on the fly or in batches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ShortPixel?

Sometimes I've had issues with their CDN service, which occasionally encounters errors with our website cache or my host's CDN. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ShortPixel:

It's worth trying out. Especially since you can buy a set number of credits. If you're launching a site and need to perform a one-off optimization of the content, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ShortPixel solving and how is that benefiting you?

When many separate users contribute images, they often upload massive files that serve poorly and take up a lot of space on the server. ShortPixel helps serve files that are faster and better optimized for the end-user and cuts down file size on the server. I also like that they can convert to WebP dynamically.

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.
