![]() ![]() Winner: ShortPixel – for giving a fully-functional free plugin, along with more features than Smush Pro. So if you are a programmer, ShortPixel gives a better solution to optimize images. I enquired about it to WPMUDEV, and the reply was that they support API with CDN only. In contrast, Smush doesn’t mention any direct API on its product page. Apart from that the Post-Reducer API allows compressing images that are not available online. You can send a regular HTTP request along with your API key and the URL of the image to compress. Lastly, if you want to programmatically optimize images, ShortPixel offers a REST API: ShortPixel has two plugins: ShortPixel Image Optimizer & ShortPixel Adaptive Images – both can use either one or both.If you later decide to use a different CDN, deactivate SAI and keep SIO without losing WebP support. The main plugin – ShortPixel Image Optimizer (SIO) – optimizes and saves images on your server (including WebP), while the other one optimizes and serves images from ShortPixel CDN directly. The good part is, you can use both the plugins together. ShortPixel also offers CDN but within a separate plugin called ShortPixel Adaptive Images (SAI). Smush doesn’t store WebP on your server.So if you don’t plan to use Smush CDN, it’s better to look for some other plugins. That means you have to enable their CDN feature to serve WebP. WebP & CDNĪnother point against Smush is that it doesn’t save WebP files on your server. However, there the maximum file size is 1MB. ![]() Otherwise, Smush allows losslessly compressing an unlimited number of images. So if you have only a few images to process each month, then ShortPixel is better. After that, you have to purchase additional image credits to compress more. ShortPixel allows compressing only 100 images per month with the free plan. On the contrary, ShortPixel’s free plan is fully functional. Looking at the above table, you can see that Smush locks most of the features under the pro plan, which makes the free version quite limited. ![]()
