Lolsocks review for Crush: Speed & Image Optimizer
Feb. 9, 2018
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 [email protected] -Dom, Co-Founder
