Cannot in good faith recommend this app. Absolutely ZERO customer service and there is a very obvious glitch in the app and seemingly no way to fix it. My website has few thousand images but after this app compresses the image it makes a duplicate, and then strangely that duplicate is then compressed, then find another duplicate has been made! According to the app I now have close to 15,000 images and the number keeps rising every day even when I do not add any extra products! The app never manages to compress all of my images because it just keeps adding to the number. This also seems to be affecting the loading speed of my site - Before adding this app according to Shopify my loading speed was 'Good' it has now changed to 'Moderate'. There have been no other changes to my site apart from installing this app. Have tried contacting them on numerous occassions but no one bothers to reply. I even contacted the email address that they left in a reply to feedback to another customer hoping it would get a reply but again it has been ignored. I have no choice but to uninstall this app and work hard to fix any damage it has done.

Disappointing Experience with Lack of Support from Image Optimizer I feel compelled to share my experience with the Image Optimizer app and its customer support team. Functionality: The premise of Image Optimizer is promising, offering image compression capabilities to enhance website speed and performance. Initially, the app seemed like a perfect fit for my needs, targeting to optimize around 600 images on my Shopify store. However, the app reported compressing over 2,000 images, a number far exceeding my actual inventory, leading to confusion and concern over the accuracy of its operations. Customer Support: The most disheartening aspect of my experience was the complete lack of response from the customer support team. Despite reaching out multiple times with detailed explanations of my issues and a plea for assistance, my requests went unanswered. The absence of support not only exacerbated the problem but also left me feeling disregarded as a customer. Overall Experience: Unfortunately, due to the technical issues and, more significantly, the lack of customer service, my experience with Image Optimizer has been far from satisfactory. The inability to resolve a critical issue that impacts my Shopify store's performance significantly undermines the value of the app. While I understand that technical glitches can occur, the measure of a company lies in its response to customer issues. A more proactive and responsive customer service approach could have mitigated the situation and potentially retained me as a satisfied user. Rating: 1/5 I've rated Image Optimizer 1 out of 5 stars, acknowledging the potential of the software but significantly marking it down for its failure to deliver on customer support and effectively address software issues. Advice to Potential Users: Proceed with caution. While the concept behind Image Optimizer might be what you're looking for, be prepared for potential discrepancies and, based on my experience, a lack of support in resolving them. To the developers: I urge you to consider this feedback not as mere criticism but as an opportunity to improve. Responsive customer support is crucial, and addressing user concerns promptly can significantly enhance the value of your service.

Scammy as Hell, saying 1.99$ per month unlimited images, then only Shopify inform you by email it's 1 cent per image. Run away fast.
No, we never charge you 1 cent per image. Our pricing is clear: free for manual optimization and $1.99 each month for automatic optimization. You can check the pricing section for more details

I just got it installed today after Shopify had to check into why it was saying it was installed but nothing was working or accessible on it. First strike. They fixed it, but I have no idea what I'm doing or what it does because there is NO information on anything. 2nd strike. The selecting photos to optimize one by one worked ok. A long process and every single photo in my album came up with no identifier for active or hidden products. And what about other images on the website like on my about page. Strike3. There is no documentation or explanation for what each of the enumerated features does or why. Strike 4. It's free, so I guess I can't expect too much. But the paid option also lacks any explanation of it's features, how to use the app or WHY? I thought this thing was also optimizing for SEO - how? Plus the pricing page is too vague. Subscription? but you still have to pay for usage each month? There are too many contradictions with this app. It was recommended by my coach, so I took it. So far there is no proof of optimization because my speed is report is still the same as it was before I installed this app. I'll give it a couple days and see what happens. But it doesn't give me the feeling that I got an app that the average non-geek shop owner can waste the time using. At least it's not too difficult because it's only a one page list of my images. Glad I haven't paid anything for it yet.
Hi, I'm sorry for your experience with our app. First, we have had a lot of installations these days because we are free and we offer one million image optimizations each month, which is why we introduced a subscription model. The high demand caused our app to go down for a few hours yesterday. We have kept our app free for over a year, but our servers and databases come with monthly costs. This is why we decided to make our app available for a nominal fee of $1.99 so that we can continue to provide our services. As of now, we are not making any profit from this app, and we are committed to delivering the best support experience we can. We strive to respond to all tickets within 24 hours and do our best to help users resolve their issues with page speed. Please keep in mind that image weight is not the sole factor affecting page speed; there are many other factors at play. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact us through the in-app widget or our support email. I'll be happy to help, and I apologize for any inconvenience.

It states the app is free. It only compresses half of my images. To compress the remaining image requires upgrading. That is showing a fee that has been crossed out and is currently free. What is to say you don't get charged later? I have emailed and there is no reply. I have contacted them via their chat box which states, "we reply immediately", but after just over a day, still no reply. As others have said in their reviews, there is no customers service. I am updating this review to add that they have now removed their chat box. There is NO customer support, there help page is minimal, and there 'more about us' link is not a link.

I was charged by this terrible app without any notification. Do not download it! It doesn't do anything with the pictures and it's not even free! The only notification that you have to pay after 150 images appears after you've already been charged. This is very dishonest. I've now deleted the app and I'm out $10, but at least I haven't had any more pictures optimized. Stay away from this app!

This shitty app charged me without any notification! Do not download! It does nothing with the pictures and is not free!!! There is only one small notification that you have to pay after 150 images which I only saw after they have charged me! Such a shadey thing to do.... Now I have deleted it, no pictures are optimized but I am less of 11 usd. Thank you!

there is no reply or support from tech team. pro version was free and then it became 19.99 and then now its 1.99. the app shows the all images are compressed but when you search for products 261485 images are uncompressed. False advertising and app not functioning as described is my response to an honest feedback.

I installed this app with high hopes but despite its claims my site speed has got worse. I sent a help message to support wondering if there could be more that the App was planning to do BUT I but didn’t even get a reply - very disappointed .
