<h3>Compress images without losing quality</h3>

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.

Compress, Resize & Lazy Load Images – WPvivid Image Optimization

I'm a paid/pro user of this plugin, and the optimization never worked for me.

It keeps showing errors and I have barely 208 images on my site to be optimized or converted to .webp (I wasted 30 mins trying again and again)

I have to install Imagify and pay for their service to get those images optimized and converted to the next-generation format. (It took me 10 mins)

Save yourself time and stay away.

Note: From all the products that I have access the ONLY one that worked still WPVivid Backup. 

One more product to the list that never worked.

Optimize, compress and resize images in WordPress in bulk. Lazy load images. Auto resize and optimize images upon upload.
