by Tony Hisir·3 years ago
Thank you for creating this plugin. I have been trying to figure out how to fix the “Properly size images” PageSpeed Insights warning and your plugin did it. I appreciate it.
Saved. My. Life. Best yet most underrated image optimization plugin!

This plugin just performed better than both WP Compress and Optimole when it comes to website speed and Google Light House/Pagespeed Insights scores.
It’s astonishingly good for a free plugin! Performs better than so-called best image optimization plugins, while being free and without needing us to create an account!
Can’t recommend it enough!

Just need manual Lazy load image exclusion to avoid CLS.
Thanks.
