Avada SEO Speed Image Optimize

Below is my honest review after using app for 3-4 months

Pros -

1. Very good customer support
2. This app help to fix on page SEO issues
3. Easy to use
4. It does great job in reducing image file size and also does instant indexing
5. Some times their customer support report the SEO issues to users proactively and take action to get the issues fixed.

Cons-

1. You keep encountering many errors in the application even on the basic feature of the SEO app, however they resolve once you report.
2. They don't have mechanism for fixing priority issues off business hours though they have users from around the globe
3. While they call it as SEO suite they only support for on page and technical SEO no support for off page or local SEO which is important for your page to rank top in SERP

I am reducing the two stars as i am loosing my time due to issues on the app due to lack of quality check while releasing new versions.

I have only had this running a very short time, so time will tell, but since I installed Avada SEO and used the image optimization, my site is actually loading slower. It's like the images are thinking before they load. I will revisit this and raise or lower my review in about 10 days at which time I will decide if I am keeping Avada or using something else.

uygulama acılmıyor. özellikler güzel ama bugun 2.ci sitemde de uygulama acılmıyor

Leaves code when uninstalled, and creates an AVADA Product collection.

Better alternatives out there

Im not finding very intuitive

No sé si la aplicación es muy efectiva pero el sevicio al cliente esta genial, Emily me ha atendido de maravilla

Staff is 5 stars, helping to resolve any issues without long wait in the queue. The free tier of the app is also amazing.

UPD: The free tier is no longer include a lot of features that were available before, also the website speed slowed down by a lot. Too bad good the greed took over and now, most of useful features are paywalled.

Update: Nov 2023
Degrading rating due to poor support offered when the app decided to delete and jumble my images across my store. After two weeks of chasing for a reply and being told the tech team 'were looking into it' the end reply boiled down to:

'Sorry after two weeks Shopify deletes any deleted images, it might be us but we think it's you'

That's quite insulting, I am quite capable in telling the difference between a black and yellow jumper, or a between two products that have the colour printed on the label in the picture. Also if you can think of a reason why I needed to have multiple copies of multiple pictures across my listings I would love to here your reasoning behind it.

It used to be good, now would not recommend.

Original Review:
Good app, I'm currently on the free plan but at present that works enough for me, will likely change to the paid one in the near future. Rainy and the team were great at helping me with a formatting issue on my HTML sitemaps that caused Google to complain about non mobile friendliness. I think I use pretty much all the features provided now I have had time to really use them. Edit: Nov 2022
I had a small hiccup with the store not redirecting 404's, Jasmine quickly fixed this and all is well once more.

I got this app mostly for image optimization. To be honest its a "meh" because after I have gone back through the images i noticed that alt image text has only been applied to missing pictures that are the main image on the page. Basically it means I have to go through 1800 images by hand, which is why i got the app in the first place. I have not used any of the SEO portions of the app, partly because I have someone working on it, and partly because I was not particularly impressed so far. I plan to explore it to justify the monthly charge however.

Configurations haven't been published so far. It looks good and easy to setup, but something I did was probably wrong and I wasn't notified
