About Shortpixel
We released our first public beta version of the ShortPixel Image Optimization plugin in November 2014, and that was the launch of our image optimization service. We owe a huge “thank you” to many of our customers for their early days feedback which ranged from an iconic “Your f***ing plugin broke my site!” to details about their exact needs or heartwarming “Awesome plugin!” feed-back messages.
All this has helped us greatly in tailoring our service to your needs, and it still does, because every opinion or request our customers send us counts. Occasionally it takes time until it hits the prime-time but it certainly will not be ignored.
In April 2015, we rolled out our first paid version of the service. We started to have more and more customers using our ShortPixel Image Optimization plugin, so we had to scale on new and more powerful servers to cope with so many specific situations of customers with different WordPress installations, different plugins or custom code. We decided to offer the same premium support to all our customers, regardless of whether they are paying customers or use our free service.
As of 2022 more than eight years later and after more than 9 billion optimized images for more than 500,000 customers, of which almost 400,000 are plugin users, we are glad to have started this journey, and we are still proudly doing it. On our ticketing system we have received more than 80,000 support messages so far and we made sure that every customer was swiftly helped. 24/7/365.
Why Shortpixel
Imagine if there was a tool that could easily make your website faster. Not only that, but it would save you time and effort when dealing with images. This way, you can be unaware of all the complexity behind it. You will not have to worry about delivering optimized “next-gen” images, properly adjust the images size and serve them through a CDN…
Well, with the ShortPixel tools, you can accomplish all of that and more.
Whether you have just one website or manage hundreds of websites, ShortPixel can help. No more worries with editors forgetting to resize the 5 MB image they took with their phone. Or other time-consuming processes before uploading the images to your website.
Just add the images and ShortPixel will do the rest.
ShortPixel is not your average image optimization service. We do not just reduce image quality from 80% to 40% like others do. The result is images that are either under-optimized or over-optimized.
ShortPixel takes a totally different approach. Our goal is to deliver the original-looking images at the smallest possible size. And to achieve that, we take each image and optimize it multiple times with our proprietary algorithms until we have the perfect, smallest possible image.
While JPEG is still the most popular format, new formats like WebP and AVIF offer better image quality at smaller file sizes. And that means faster websites and therefore better SEO rankings. Who does not want that?!
ShortPixel takes all the complexity away from you and makes everything simple: with just a few clicks you can convert all your JPG/PNG images to WebP/AVIF and make them available to the right browsers.
