My store was at 38 when I installed this app. After running the app it is now at 29. It doesnt work.
Hi. We have emailed you more than once to troubleshoot and resolve this but haven't heard back from you. You signed up for our free plan - which is great for stores with less than 500 product images. Our paid plan covers stores that have more than 500 images and also videos, which is what we'd recommend you use for your store. When a store loads for a user, one cannot determine how they will filter and sort products. Any product and its related media could load, including the ones you have left unoptimized. This means that the better approach for bigger stores is to ensure their entire product gallery is optimized instead of just one small chunk. We also ran a quick test to see exactly what is affecting your store's speeds and found that your store has other problems in its backend, and not so much media compression. While heavy media files are a big contributor to slow load times, they're not the only factor that require fixing. Fastshop is a great solution to solve the heavy file size problem but it cannot help you with all the other problems we noticed on your website. We'd recommend moving to a paid plan, and hiring a robust SEO team to optimize your store's entire backend. We hope this helps.

Optimized properly. Had to set a few close-ups back to normal but otherwise the rest looked good. Deleted some products and the Fastshop app deleted those optimized and the backups of those products quickly. I love the app so far. But I have not created anything new so I have yet to see the auto optimization work with newly created products. Currently they only let you view a few images at a time in the revert your images section. I wish you could set this to a higher limit like 30 per page view, I was hitting that "Load More" button quite a lot, but then I had over 7,000 images to go through. Oh and a super big thing for me was my stores Google Lighthouse Speed Score jumped by 13 points in a day and 1/2. WoW! I was impressed!
Thank you for this review! We have submitted your request to our development team to allow stores to load a larger number of files at a time. We have also been working with a set of stores that requested an email alert to go out to them on a weekly basis that will give them a summary of new media that has been automatically optimized by our app. This is a new feature that should roll out over the next few weeks to all the stores using our app. Until then, the app will continue to quietly optimize any new media uploaded to the store in the backend. We hope this helps!

We're a high-inventory, image-heavy shop. A lot of our customers live in rural areas with slower internet connections, so we're always looking for ways to improve our site's loading speed. I've tried a lot of image optimization apps, and this is by far the best we've used. Fastshop takes care of this repetitive task automatically and, even though it gives you the option to restore the original image in case the optimization makes it not look its best, I haven't had to use that feature so far. High recommend.
Thank you so much for this review, you made our day!

So far so good! Extremely simple, saved me half a GB of image files from my store, and it lets you compare the old picture with the optimized one.
Thank you so much for your feedback!

I had no idea shopify doesn’t automatically do this! So glad I found this, it’s helped me cut the bloat and speed up my site so much. Can’t wait for the sales to roll in faster!
Thanks a bunch!

It was just the app that I was looking for. It worked like magic and my website is definitely loading up faster than before.
Thank you for your feedback! Shopify currently doesn't compress your media for super fast website load times. Faster load times lead to better conversion rates. We do that with no loss to the perceptible quality of your images and videos. That's the solution we provide.
