Merchants highly recommend this app for significantly improving site speed and SEO by effectively optimizing images. It automatically compresses images, adds alt text, and optimizes filenames, with some merchants noting up to 51% reduction in image size, leading to faster page loads. Features like automatic optimization of new images and before-and-after sliders are particularly appreciated for continuous improvement and visual proof of optimization. The app is also praised for its user-friendly interface and minimal need for manual intervention, allowing efficient background operation. Support is described as responsive and helpful, enhancing merchant satisfaction.

That doesen't make sense at all but after using this app I tested again the speed of my website on www.gtmetrix.com and the score was lower. How is it possibile if I compressed the pictures? It switched from B89% of speed score to B81% and from C74% of slow score to D62%
So this app basically and magically made the performance of my website worse instead of better
Hi there,
We're really sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with our app. Sites like GTMetrix are a good analysis tool to get ideas for optimizing your site, but they has a few flaws such as (1) the scoring system doesn’t correlate to actual speed, (2) Sometimes you can make your site faster with these optimizations and the score will drops, and (3) if you have 3rd party apps (every Shopify site) you’ll get warnings that can’t or shouldn’t be cleared.
So while these can be great guidelines, the scores on these sites don't actually equal speed increases and speed increases don't guarantee a better score.
We'd be happy to explain it in more detail or answer more questions so feel free to reach out to use at support@spacesquirrel.co

thought its free pretty misleading
The app saved me hundreds of hours and not having to pay a consultant. I was able to optimize my 2000 images in about a day, renamed images and alt tags, without a single disruption to my website. It did exactly what it said it would do and would recommend for anyone who wants to save time or money
really doing a good job you guy have to increase time speed in crushing it takes longer time
Does what it says and super easy to use... Hopefully will see the SEO benefits soon
Great, now my website loads faster! Thank you so much.
My Google pagespeed report score increased a lot
Used this to condense my images. It saved me having to manually resize all of my photos. recommend !
Great app for speeding up my site.
It is a decent app although that the process is very slow and 12% savings is below my expectation. Thanks
Space Squirrel has always been awesome. They know how to do it right.
