Just bought a few hours ago and ran it on one of my wordpress sites and does what it says, pretty good, reviews are genuine.

This deal gets you a lifetime license of 5000 images every month and you can stack codes. I can confirm it works well,

If you own a wordpress site, seems like a no brainer to have this and not have to worry about images being optimized.

================================
Blurb

ShortPixel is a high-powered compressor and optimizer that drastically reduces image file sizes to improve website performance and SEO ranking.

We know what you're thinking, "compressing images with ShortPixel will hurt the quality of your images." But it won't.

ShortPixel compresses all your popular formats (JPG, PNG, GIF, PDF, WebP) by up to 90% without reducing quality.

Here, have fun scrolling back and forth between this image before and after optimization:

If you have WordPress site, compressing images is ridiculously easy thanks to a handy-dandy ShortPixel plug-in that is directly installed into your WordPress dashboard — just set it and forget it and it will automatically optimize your images!

While ShortPixel is patiently waiting for Shopify to approve the app ShortPixel created, you can use the "unofficial" ShortPixel app in the meantime by simply typing in your URL.

For some of you (hint: agencies), the best part of ShortPixel may be the sub-account feature.

With this feature, you can create sub-accounts for clients, allot X amount of pictures and gifs per month for them, and then charge them!

Usually, if you were looking to magically improve your website with ShortPixel's Short Plan, you'd be paying $60/year to get:

5K credits a month

Lossless, glossy and lossy optimization

Compress PDF Files

PHP Compression tools

WordPress plugin

Automatic & bulk optimization

One API Key for multiple sites

No file size limit

Sub-accounts for clients
Sumo-lings can get lifetime access to the Short Plan for just $29! I repeat, $29!

And because ShortPixel loves the Sumo-ling community, they are letting you stack this deal up to 10x (umm, that’s 50,000 images a month!).

I wouldn't wait too long because this deal sold out two days after the first email went out!

        nah I actually bought a second one so total 80 $ , because the link given only allows 100 images free per month.

        So overall this is a much better deal

  Interested if any of these compress in such a way as to be OKd by Google Page Speed insights https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/

  Find I compress images but Google always seems to want more or an alternative method. Good thing is you can download the images from this sight but it's slow and not practical if you want to do them all.

  This plugin has a great compression system. It depends on what settings you use but you can barely tell that an image has been compressed by looking at it, while still reducing it in size by a good bit.

  I have tried most of the free plugins and this one is my favourite so far. For some things it's worth paying for and in my experience, this is one of them.

  I've used a free Wordpress plugin called Smush on a number of corporate and personal websites and can vouch that it's a great plugin for compressing images without losing noticeable quality.

  I've been using RIOT for years to reduce file size on images. It doesn't integrate with WP so I used it before uploading.

  Jesus that's expensive to just compress image/data for web.

  Edit: In fact I'm 98% sure that's a scam plugin. $180 for image compression of 5000 images a month? lol!

  Sorry man, but this is definitely targeting people who see "optimise" and "fast" and think "I need that".

  When even the TL;DR is fake.

  TL;DR
  Compress pictures and gifs in seconds

  Secure faster load times and better SEO rankings

  Reduce image size without sacrificing quality

  Create sub-accounts for clients

    It depends what it's used for. For personal blogs, not worth it, but if you run a business with clients, yes. It is worth it. Most of the jpg files I compressed shrank from 7mb to 300kb with image quality preserved extremely well. We processed images on one of our client sites and shrank their loading times from 20s to about 4s. if you know the 10s rule, you'd understand how important it is. Their sales over 30 day period increased by about $7,000 so was this useful to them, yes absolutely. They could of compressed images before upload, but most of the time this stuff is handled by staff who never do it. With a plugin, it's all automated. Furthermore, they had thousands of thumbnails that were auto generated by wordpress that were 200kb each, ran it through this and it got down to 5kb. There are other plugins out there that do what shortpixel does but most of the free one's are NOT good. Tried a bunch and they either seriously limit the amount you can process or it they wouldn't let you access their "good compression" algo unless on a paid monthly plan. Most business/store sites will easily process thousands of images per month, so no, free plan will not work and most staff will be too lazy to "download wordpress generated thumbnails, run them through batch image compressor, re-upload them".

      Thanks mate,
      You put it much better than I ever could,

      This is not for hobbyists with a blog, all the alternatives given either have serious limitations or limits on free compression. Having an automated solution that works well is great for businesses, I have tried it and it works extremely well,

      All the negs are like comparing an apple phone to an android. Just because you can make phone calls on both one doesn't replace the other.
