Image Optimization For SEO

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 75% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   This is without a doubt, the most effective SEO Image Optimizer available in the world, trust me I looked everywhere. I was so happy with this plugin that I purchased the Pro version and my Organic Search traffic exploded. Its been growing daily ever since I started using this plugin, organic search has actually become my #1 source of traffic, and I would be foolish if I didn’t equate that to the use of this plugin. These guys are second only to maybe Siteground in regard to their support rendered. I was dealing with a lingering conflict with another plugin that I just couldn’t, for whatever reason, fix on my own. They respond crazy fast, almost to fast. And they respond fast with valuable information as well, such as, “don’t worry, we have fixed the issue.” type of valuable information. If you’re on the fence with this plugin, go get yourself the Pro version. You’ll be happy you did and its priced so ridiculously well, there’s no risk. To put it in perspective, I have never written a review before, so although I rely on reviews for every plugin decision I have ever made, this is my first contribution. I was so thrilled with my most recent experience with their support, that I made it a point to figure this out and write them a grossly positive review at 3:20 am because they deserve it. **** I have updated my review to reflect the now offensively terrible customer support this company has. The first issue I had they worked tirelessly to fix, however now I can’t even get a reply from these people. I have contacted them over 8 times, they replied once and I think when they realized they didn’t have the skills to fix the issue I was having with a conflict between this plugin and my theme (Divi which is the most popular theme on WordPress you’d think they would have their plugin be compatible) When this plugins support can’t fix something they will simply stop replying. At least offer some sort of solution for your paying customers, or even a simple warning stating your plugin doesn’t work with Divi. $11 isn’t much for a pro version plugin, but I still wouldn’t waste your time if you’re considering purchasing it. There are better plugins, yes they are more expensive but apparently, you get what you pay for. This topic was modified 7 years, 6 months ago by asherhardt.

   I use it with a FREE mood and feel this is a good solution, very good and easy to use, it does not show up on the back-end, but with featured images – and thumbnail images at the font-end are great. I have not tried Woocommerce yet but hopefully it will integrate. Thanks for shared it FREE !
