What merchants think

Feedback submitted

Merchants appreciate this app for its automatic image compression and renaming, which boosts website performance and supports SEO with optimized alt texts and filenames. They note significant improvements in site speed, with some seeing up to a 51% reduction in image sizes. The user-friendly interface is ideal for those with limited technical skills, and the responsive customer support is highly praised. Merchants also find the pricing, including a free option, cost-effective while maintaining high image quality.

Great app and love the automated nature of it, compression size of the pics seems considerably smaller than some of the online apps I have used for compressing pics though.

Super Easy to use app that gets the job done. Extremely useful for those big slide pics on the themes.

Fast and easy to use. However, I was unaware that many of my images were already compressed and needed to be resized instead, which requires a separate app.

In order to show that it has any value, like any other service in 2020, it has a free version. However, to see the value, it forces you to *manually* point and click 2 different buttons for each image you want to compress (to only get a 1-5% decrease in size, in my case). I did all this, took me one hour until I reached their 25MB free limit. Then I re-checked my site's speed score on both Shopify and Google PageSpeed Insights - it didn't change one bit. I will recheck tomorrow, if the score gets better I'll update my review. If it doesn't they really deserve 1* for putting their potential customers through this and/or not knowing how to show the value.

Hi there - We're really sorry that you didn't enjoy using our app! We've tried to contact you multiple times but haven't heard back from you. We offer the free plan as a trial of our app. It's a way to get to know to interface and see if the app will work for your purposes.

Image compression is one part about helping your site's speed, but it's also about increasing your SEO ranking. Stores with compressed images will in time grow faster on search engine sites because search engines like Google prefer to show sites that are well organized and quick to load. On that note, while some users may not actually see a change in the site speed score, your images will still load faster and this still will help with your SEO rank over time, as Google crawls your store over and over.
As well, not all site speed issues, especially relating to site speed score, can be fixed by image compression. Stores have apps and scripts that also slow down their site. I'd highly recommend having a look at our Help Centre at the guide titled "Common Site Speed Questions."

I am really sorry you did not enjoy using the free version of our app. I hope some of the above clarifies this because, like I say, there are a lot of factors involved and sometimes images are not the issue causing a low site speed score.
Please reach out with any questions at support@spacesquirrel.co so we can help you.
