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.

    I am using Robin Image Optimizer along with super page cache pro. Really like the features it provides for the pricing.

    The best plugin for image optimization. But after the latest update, there’s a delay when converting Image Features to webp. Although it might just be my feeling. BTW, thanks.

    Your “fix” lasted for about three minutes. I have since then waited to give you time to migrate your servers. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin several times. I have tried to get it to optimise the images about 1000 times. It keeps stopping and throwing up errors. I have wasted hours and days trying to get this thing to work. It’s infuriating!! All this is because you are selling a pro upgrade for a plugin that isn’t currently working, showing a complete disregard for other people.
