Hello, I find your app very useful for my shop and have been using it for quite some time. However, I frequently encounter an issue where the Image Optimizer app for SEO image optimization does not start. Sometimes, uninstalling and reinstalling the app resolves the issue, but currently, even that is not working, and the app simply won’t start. Additionally, I find it unfortunate that there is no support available for inquiries or technical problems. Could you assist me with this issue? If the problem is resolved, I will be happy to adjust my review accordingly. Thank you in advance!

The app's main feature is to reduce image file sizes, but it's not working as expected—90% of the files remain the same size.

it's a great app, very easy to use. It would be helpful if you add the feature of "manual" adding new images to improve. Thanks

Theres very little customisation offered, just a one click optimise button for images and once it starts you can't stop it without uninstalling the app. I also can't easily restore multiple photos, you have to do them one by one and the page reloads in between. One final thing is I asked it to adjust my alt text by Product name - Product Vendor.. but the preview while its getting them done shows the optimised Alt text without the vendor while some of the original alt text contained the vendor (shown in the adjacent column). I'm hoping it doesn't remove all the alt text vendor details but time will tell. I also hope it doesn't keep reducing image size every time you run it

Do not install this scam! The app destroys images, claiming to offer the ability to restore old ones (you have to click on each image individually and wait a second), but the restoration doesn't work. They ruined my store with 8,000 images, and now I have to fix it manually!" This version maintains the tone and frustration while ensuring it reads smoothly in English.

Comment contacter le créateur de cette appli ? Une appli qui endommage les photos, j'aimerais revenir en arrière, comment puis-je faire sans le faire photo par photo ? Puis le alt texte n'est même pas optimisé, ça met des tiret du bas au lieu du tiret du 6.... inutile quoi, même dangereux pour la boutique.

After a few issues with this app, I contacted the developer (Sam) who was very helpful and we worked through the issues and this app is now working really well for us. It saves us so much time with our image SEO, we would highly recommend it.

This app started out good and then 3 weeks later it changed all of our webp photos into inflated jpeg and png photos. costing us lost time and is going to be an expensive fix. Even Shopify agreed that this app was not working properly

I appreciate your work, so I'm giving you 5 stars as an encouragement, because I like that app. Unfortunately it wasn't useful, because I upload photos in .svg format, and that app doesn't compress such images :( I would be extremely grateful if you improved this option! You're doing a great job, I wish you all the best!

Overall, it's great that such an app exists and that it's free, but it has some major issues... 1. Words in image URLs shouldn't be separated by "", but by "-". Google treats "" as if it doesn’t exist. For example, an image with the link "super-tattoo" is interpreted by Google as "super tattoo", but an image with the link "super_tattoo" is interpreted as "supertattoo". This is easy to fix, but very important. 2. The app leaves capital letters in image URLs, which is also a downside. It would be better if the image URLs were in lowercase. 3. Now, I'll move on to a huge flaw that will cause most sellers not to use the module, or if they do, it will harm them: The app modifies ALL images without giving me the option to choose which images I want to optimize. There should be an option, for example, to select specific collections or types of images that we want to optimize. 4. The fourth minor flaw is that the app is not described accurately, and I'm afraid to use two buttons because I don't know what will happen. 5. The last issue is that the app automatically changes image URLs without my prior analysis and approval, which alters the link structure. These links might be indexed by Google before I have a chance to fix them manually (and they need fixing because of the issues mentioned above). 6. The sixth flaw is that after changing the image URLs, the app does not create 301 redirects to the new images. This can easily harm your search engine rankings.
