Cool app! Significantly increase my overall site speed according to Google rating.
It does the job but very slow. When it started the compress job, it said 11 hours remaining. After 4 full days it was still 7 hours remaining I contacted support for this but could not get a reply or help.
Hi there - We've replied to all your emails, at both email addresses, but it seems you aren't receiving them. Can you check your spam/junk folders and whitelist spacesquirrel.co with your email provider?
We are really sorry for the delay in compression over the past week. There were some issue at our data centre which has resulted in a small backlog of images that need compressing. Things are back to normal now.
Again, we're really sorry for the inconvenience. Be sure to check your junk/spam email folders for our replies and let us know if you have more questions.
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.
