ShortPixel
Description
Description
An easy to use plugin that can help you solve within minutes all your website’s image-related problems.
Display properly sized, smartly cropped and optimized images on your website; Images are processed on the fly and served from our CDN, in the next-gen WebP format, if the browser supports it.
Do I need this plugin?
If you have a WordPress website with images then the answer is: most probably yes!
Did you ever test your website with tools like PageSpeed Insights or GTmetrix and received complains about images not being properly sized or being too large? Or that you should use “next-gen” images like WebP? Or that the website should “defer offscreen images”?
ShortPixel Adaptive Images comes to the rescue and resolves your site’s image-related problems in no time.
What are the benefits?
Imagine that you could have all your image-related website problems solved with a simple click, wouldn’t that be great?
Usually the images are the biggest resource on a website page. With just one click, ShortPixel Adaptive Images replaces all your website’s pics with properly sized, smartly-cropped, optimized images and serves them from ShortPixel’s global CDN.
And for more Google love the plugin serves WebP images to the right browsers auto-magically!
What are the features?
- same visual quality but smaller images thanks to ShortPixel algorithms
- smart cropping – see an example
- serve only appropriately sized images depending on the visitor’s viewport
- lazy load support
- automatically serves WebP images to browsers that support this format. Animated Gifs are supported too!
- caching and serving from a global CDN
- all major image galleries, sliders, page builders are supported
- SVG place holders
- support for JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, BMP
- convert to WebP on the fly.
- traffic is not counted
Do I need an account to test this plugin?
No, just go ahead and install then activate it on your WordPress website and you’ll automatically receive 500 image optimization credits.
How much does it cost?
When using ShortPixel Adaptive Images, only the image optimization credits are counted. That means the CDN traffic is not metered (considering a fair usage). The free tier receives 100 image optimization credits, paid plans start at $4.99 and both one-time and monthly plans are available.
Even better: if you already use ShortPixel Image Optimizer then you can use the same credits with ShortPixel Adaptive Images!
How does this work?
Different visitors have different devices (laptop, mobile phone, tablet) each with its own screen resolution. ShortPixel AI considers the device’s resolution and then serves the right sized image for each placeholder.
Let’s consider a webpage with a single 640×480 pixels image.
When viewed from a laptop the image will retain it 640x480px size but it will be optimized and served from a CDN.
When the same webpage is viewed from a mobile phone, the image will be resized (for example) to 300x225px, optimized and served from CDN.
This way, neither time nor bandwidth will be wasted by visitors.
Please note that the first time the call for a specific image is made to our servers, the original image will be served temporarily.
For developers
If in Media Library there are main images which end in the usual thumbnail size suffix (eg. -100×100) please set in wp-config.php this:
define(‘SPAI_FILENAME_RESOLUTION_UNSAFE’, true);
