Optima

Loading times directly impact SEO and user experience. The faster the site, the easier it is for a visitor to navigate and search engine bots to crawl the pages. Images are one of the biggest culprits responsible for slowing down a website, especially large, unoptimized images. What’s more, pages that are stacked with heavy image content can have a detrimental effect on your page rankings. So compressing your images before uploading them is crucial.

No. OPTIMA will carry on optimizing your images until all of them have been optimized. You will be charged for extra image optimizations according to the pricing plan you have selected. You can, however, cancel image optimization via your Optima dashboard or cancel all future optimizations within the ‘Settings’ page.

No, the module will save both the original and the compressed versions of your images. You can restore the original image if needed. The only exception is if you decide to delete the original version.

Absolutely! You can either compress images in bulk or select specific media files for optimization.

We hope you’ll find Optima – Image Optimizer so useful that you won’t want to cancel! But if you do, that’s no problem. Simply uninstall the app if you want to end your subscription. If you want to change your subscription plan, just go to our settings page and you will find a section called “Subscription plan”. Just hit the Upgrade button and choose the best plan for you.

If the image was uploaded manually, the filename cannot be optimized as filename optimization uses a template. For example, a product name, a collection name. Assets and custom image uploads do not have any template that it can work on. Only illegal characters are removed from the filename.

You can restore individual images to their previous unoptimized state if you wish. Just make sure that you don’t uninstall the app before restoring your images. Simply follow these steps: 1. Open Optima, click on the Details button of the segment it was placed in. 2. Find the image you want to restore and click the Restore button.

Optima automatically takes care of compressing and optimizing your new Product, Collection, and Asset folder images as soon as you upload them. You don’t have to do anything at all, and can instead focus on other areas of your online business.

Page Speeds Insights (PSI), though a good tool for finding optimization opportunities, isn’t useful as a scoring system for Shopify sites. The reason is that tools like this rely on algorithms and analysis based on a system of rules to calculate a score. Not all the warnings make sense. Your score could go down, even after you’ve made various optimization improvements that have clearly made your site faster.
