ShortPixel + ShortPixel Adaptive Images (CDN credit) Lifetime Deal on Appsumo - from 49.99$
Right now what I was waiting for on Black Friaday/Cyber Monday was not necessarily more hosting deals (although I am always on the lookout for shared/reseller deals) but some cool (Lifetime) Deals. Shortpixel are running their 4th Appsumo promo and it's a great deal for sure
I use ShortPixel a lot on my own and my client's WordPress sites. 15k credits per month is definitely very nice to have. Adding that 125GB CDN credit makes it even more interesting of a deal.

@vyas not sure if you already go this mate. I remember you mentioned that you used ShortPixel but can't remember exactly to what extent. Might be worth a look

Great deal, thanks @Ympker
Thank you, been using ShortPixel for a while and really happy with it - been buying credits as one offs to avoid yet another subscription. So this deal is perfect for me.
@Ympker
I got it last year, happy with it.
CDN is a dog and best avoided.
Image compression is super slick

If all you need is image compression, or reduction in size, or transform to webp or avif..
There are other options available. here is a rather long list of image compression tools compiled by me.

What do you mean? Their cdn sucks?
Let me get this straight. This is a lifetime cdn? Now I don't have to pay for bunnycdn anymore?
Yes
Bandwidth renews every month
Stay with the Bunny. SPAI (shortpixel cdn) uses some slow boat version of Stackpath. Bunny is far superior in terms of speed and delivery.

BTW their
I didn't know StackPath had tierd services. How is it compared to normal stackpath, as while I was testing shortpixel cdn it was pretty good
This might explain the difference in my experience
Versus yours

Thanks for the feedback mate. What would you say sets ShortPixel apart from the other tools you mentioned then? Comfort (due to its' wp integration) or just the quality of their compressions? WebP creation is definitely also a cool thing they have included.

Multiple ways of compression IMO
CLI (server/ Mac) WP plugin, web interface and JavaScript for non WP sites
Very few services offer such convenience.
I wouldn’t bank too much on webp.
Compressed image + CDN like Gumlet works far better. Or use Cloudinary. I like is more than Gumlet but paid tier is pricey
But overall Shortpixel is good.
For Compression alone imgbot and a few others are superior. But web only or WP only.

Could you elaborate a bit? Are you talking about the lack of PoPs on your region?
Couldn't find anything about this too
Yea function of PoP location. For Js - since you enlightened me on the CDN for non WP sites, here goes

Gotcha! Thanks mate. Yeah, that makes sense

Thanks! That seems like this exposes your API key to clients though?
Didnt know ShortPixel had PDF optimization, too. Never saw that.

It only compresses file sizes up to 50MB. That may be enough for image, but not for PDFs IMO
Ah! Fair enough. Never used it for PDFs but can probably be useful, too.
