Furnlander review for Crush: Speed & Image Optimizer

Feb. 18, 2017

It's very easy to use, lets you test out lossy compression on a few images at a time before doing your entire website, and after compression you can click "Details" to do easy comparison of original and new version with a slider you move across the image. What's nicest is that the compressed images often look better by removing some kind of honeycomb noise you sometimes get in images. I haven't noticed detrimental effect on images due to lossy compression except on some objects such as rugs with thick piles and complicated frosted glass. Fine wood details don't seem perceptibly degraded. My only suggestion on improving this is to allow us to choose desired maximum kb size threshold. Some of the images I uploaded were a few mb, but maybe it is my bad for not compressing it before uploading originally, but it would be cool if this app could compress 500kb-5mb images to something like 100-300kb images if you asked it to.
