Hi Elaso,?
thanks for your message, I’m sorry to see you’re so upset :-(?
First of all our plugin is not ?”fake”. As you can see if you take a moment, it is a popular plugin running on tens of thousands of websites with 100+ 5 star reviews
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/shortpixel-image-optimiser/stats/
Now regarding your complains:
1) I’m not sure what you mean by “window stay empty”, could you please explain?
2) the original images are saved, even if they have the same size and weren’t optimized at all. This is required for the restore/reoptimize mechanism.
3) I also had a look at your optimization report and I noticed that besides the images that we optimized (some with as much as 91%!) there are 2 cases where our plugin didn’t optimize the images.
Here are 2 examples:
https://www.d-dcarpentry.ie/wp-content/gallery/hi-gloss-kitchen-finishes-with-handless-system/Park-Kitchen-Hi-Gloss-Finishes-With-Handless-System.gif
– this image is a 900KB GIF image and it would have been much better to have it as a JPEG image instead. A JPEG version of this image could take only about 200KB
That’s being said it is normal that the GIF version of this image couldn’t have been optimized more.
Then there are images like this one:
https://www.d-dcarpentry.ie/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/kitchen-accessories-730×350.jpg
which already shows visible compression artifacts.
Our plugin won’t try to optimize it further which is, in our opinion, the correct approach. We try to optimize images while keeping their visual aspect intact ??
4) regarding “Delete Backup”: you’re the first person to complain about this as far as I know. We would need to investigate this more and see if it is indeed a problem with our plugin or not.
For this we would need your support, I would appreciate your follow up on this.
Thank you, I look forward to hearing from you,
Alex
