Support » Plugin: ShortPixel Image Optimizer - Optimize Images, Convert WebP & AVIF » Free version limited and account needed

  • It does what it is advertised to do.
    But the free version is quite limited…

    Also: you have to create an account to get an api key to set up and use the plugin. I don’t want to create an account to use a “free” plugin.

    Hi Paul,

    Thank you for your review, good or bad we appreciate any kind feedback. 🙂

    I would like to clarify and explain the following:

    • You will find two types of free plans among all the local image compressors: plans that have a limited monthly quota, and unlimited plans that have a very strong limitation feature-wise making their free version of a plugin practically useless. We did not want to stop our clients from trying all the features of our plugin, so we decided to simply limit the quota.
    • We don’t mention at any moment that this is a free plugin. In fact, the first paragraph of our plugin description describes it as a “freemium” plugin.
    • You need to create an API Key to set up and use the plugin because the image compression is done on our servers, and we need to know how many available credits you have.

    If you have any suggestions on how we can improve, please feel free to send them to us!

    Thank you for trying ShortPixel!
