Smush – Image Optimization, Compression, Lazy Load, WebP & CDN

Thank you for taking over half of the WordPress dashboard with your giant ad. It motivated me to remove your plugin and install EWWW Image Optimizer instead.

Huge black friday Ad. Stop advertising on my dashboard.


Unfortunately, it does not support WordPress Multisite and Arabic Language.
