User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the SiteGround Optimizer plugin for its ability to enhance site speed and performance, offering a range of optimization tools such as image compression and caching, which significantly improve website loading times. Many find it easy to use and appreciate the seamless integration with SiteGround hosting. However, several drawbacks are reported, including frequent conflicts with other plugins, issues with caching and image handling, and occasional site functionality disruptions. Some users also criticize the aggressive caching policies and lack of customization options. Overall, while the plugin provides useful features and solid integration with SiteGround's hosting, it may require thorough testing to ensure compatibility with various site configurations.

I’ve found it clashes with two plugins that are important to my site, Divi page builder and Simple WP Membership, and Siteground help didn’t didn’t seem to want to do anything to help. So the caching part of the plugin isn’t working at present. So, not great and I’m looking for an alternative.

Causa muchos problemas. Más de los que resuelve.Si lo desinstalás, elimina algunos archivos del servidor y el sitio queda roto. This topic was modified 4 weeks, 1 day ago by Cecilia.

Nice tools and probably all work great, but the WebP converter if used on your Staging site will wipe out all images and link you pages and post to blank images. Why? Because they turn off CRON on staging and WebP converter will not work in that case. What they did not do was a) tell anyone, b) prevent it from running so it would not destroy my site. Otherwise the tools I have used seem to work well. Would be great to have a comparison of their media optimization tools versus others in terms of performance. All I know is you cannot enable them on Staging.
