How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    It causes more problems than it solves, and there’s no support available.

    Well-intentioned, but it doesn’t work. In our tests, the CDN had the opposite effect to what it was supposed to have: increased server load, pages unavailable, lots of 529 errors – instead of making the server faster.

    (review edited from 2 to 5 stars) This is the best cdn for imagesand have worked well since years ago. However, their service sometimes conflicts with cloudflare under attack mode….There is no information online on how to solve this….I managed to create a firewall rule to exclude bunny asn from this level in cloudflare and worked but it would be better if they realize about this as images were not showing in my website for this and showed up broken in the frontend….this issue was recent and came due to clouflare but bunny should now know it…….For the rest they offer better security for images offering a firewall for images…I recommend them This topic was modified 7 months ago by Excess Pro Net.

    Optimizer is not intelligent enough to see already compressed images so it uses the larger image. Also the compression is not great and for over $115 a year you would expect much more. Not impressed and I am looking elsewhere.
