User sentiment analysis

Users generally appreciate Optimole for its ability to significantly enhance their website's performance, particularly through features like lazy loading, CDN delivery, and automatic image conversion to WebP and AVIF formats. Users found the plugin easy to set up and use, noting its user-friendly interface and robust support team. The automatic image optimization and compression were highlighted as particularly impactful, freeing up space and reducing load times. However, there were significant complaints about issues with image hosting limits and images disappearing, particularly when exceeding quotas. These problems led to broken websites and lost pictures, causing considerable frustration. Additionally, some users experienced site slowness and technical difficulties, which were not always resolved promptly by support.

I would give less than one star if it were possible. The plugin works very well and I really liked it. Having a newly opened site that I am still working on, the free limit of 1k visits per month was safe and perfect. Too bad they are patent CHEATERS and after a month or so of use they wrote me an email saying I exceeded the 1k monthly visits, and by a lot too! This would have really pleased me if it weren’t for the fact that I get about 1/2 visit a day on this site! But who do they think they are kidding? And all this to demand payment to pro’s of as much as $20 a month, not a joke, for work that other plugins do (without even holding our photos on one of their phantom servers…) for free! Real for free! So no thanks, and then at $20 you have a limit anyway that I don’t remember now, which there and then seems high and attainable in dreams, but if from 30, 60 maximum 80 visits a month on a site they say with impunity that they exceed 1k, do you still trust them? I don’t!

Recently discovered (via a message in the Optimole Admin panel on our website) that there is a limit on the number of HOSTED images (50k on the starter package). Contacted Optimole who state in an email that there is a cap on the number of hosted images. Their own fair usage policy says that there is, quote: “no fixed limits on the number of images hosted”, and the description on the official WordPress plugin site says in the FAQ section: “The number of images that you can optimize or store is unlimited, we care only about the number of visits you have per month”. We reached to ask for a clear list of the number of images that can be hosted for each plan, but they don’t seem to want to tell us these numbers. If you are planning on hosting a lot of images. Becareful!

Broke my site by updating image names & paths, when mesaly 1k limit exceeded, it broke my client’s site. They can’t revert back to my old paths to existing un Optimold optimized images. I had selected to leave images on my server & their cloud. Tried downloading image zip file but their new images weren’t included. Support said paying for their service wouldn’t fix. So now I’m fixing one by one manually, inexcusable.

Optimole has been a game-changer for my website’s speed! Since installing the plugin, I’ve seen a noticeable improvement in page load times. The combination of lazy loading, CDN delivery, and automatic conversion to WebP and AVIF formats is fantastic. It’s clear they’ve put a lot of thought into offering a comprehensive solution. Plus, the setup was a breeze, and I haven’t had any conflicts with other plugins. Highly recommend! This topic was modified 1 week, 4 days ago by Lotustechtips.
