A: Hi favre.arnaud, That's a great question, folks who purchase the long-term deal from https://appsumo.com/products/ewww-image-optimizer/ can get unlimited sites and extra bandwidth with any of our monthly add-on plans: https://ewww.io/appsumo-addons/ These plans are discounted further than our normal upgrades, AND exclusive to Sumo-lings.
A: Hi raj2774, Sorry for the delay here, the old deal page was archived, and I didn't think to check back and see if anyone was still posting questions on it! Hopefully you've gotten things sorted out, but if not you simply go to your Products listing on your AppSumo account and choose to activate EWWW IO. If you need further assistance, email support@appsumo.com for assistance.
Hi An, You can use both image optimization services without WordPress. We have docs for the API of both services available: https://ewww.io/api/ -- Compress API for submitting photos for optimization and then downloading back to your server. PHP library at https://github.com/nosilver4u/ewwwio-php https://ewww.io/exactdn-api/ -- The CDN service that can auto-compress and auto-resize your images. However, we don't offer cloud storage like Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage, so there isn't an option to upload images to our servers and reference them directly like that.
Hi, you mentioned that you have API services for CDN without using WP. Is the API service included in the appsumo deal?
Q: Hi there,
I have a few questions I hope you see before the deal ends:-
1.
Are compressed images stored on my site as well as the CDN? Can they be reverted back to full-size if needed?
2. What exactly happens if you go over your bandwidth? Do the compressed images just get delivered by my site's server instead?
3. With the CDN, does Google still credit my site for the image? Images and their metadata can help your content rank, so I need to know the ranking juice is being passed to my site.
4. The same sort of question but in regards to a Google Image search - will Ewww compressed images show up okay and will users be directed to my site?
5. I currently use LiteSpeed cache to compress my images (I don't use their CDN). Do I need to revert the images back to full size?
6. If I use a CDN to deliver my pages in the future, will that conflict with Ewww, or will there even be a need for Ewww at that point if I already use LiteSpeed? (Apologies for the blunt question!)
A: Hi gizmo2501, We can only activate one purchase/license per email, and 2TB is the max allowed on the LTD. If you ever need more bandwidth, we have special pricing for Sumo-lings here: https://ewww.io/appsumo-addons/
Hi gizmo2501, Times running out, but still available :) 1. There are two services included in the LTD for optimizing images. The Easy IO CDN does not alter the images on your server/site, but stores the optimized copies on our CDN edge servers. The Compress API, however, will allow you to also compress the local images on your server. The Compress API includes a 30-day backup, so that the originals can be restored if needed (very very rarely needed). 2. We send you an email letting you know that an upgrade is needed. Your service continues uninterrupted since all accounts are covered by Peak Overage Protection. Only if you repeatedly ignore those emails do we shut you off. 3. You bet, we include a "canonical" header to let Google know the authoritative version of the image is the one on your site. 4. And pretty much the same as #3, yes. 5. Nope, we'll work with whatever you've got currently. If lightspeed is already doing some optimizations, EWWW IO will work to improve that further. 6. If you are using the Easy IO CDN, don't activate another CDN down the road, it isn't needed and would conflict with EWWW IO. Our CDN does a lot of automatic conversion (WebP), compression, and auto-scaling to make sure your images are as efficient as possible.
So, just to clarify on the bandwidth limit - if you send us an e-mail letting us know we have gone over, but we don't purchase more bandwidth, and subsequently you shut us off, will the images then simply load from our site's server instead for the rest of that month, and then they would revert back to Ewww's images when the next month (so bandwidth reset) rolls around?
Oh, and to check where you said not to use another CDN - what if we want to use one for parts of our page that aren't images? Would that conflict with Ewww?
That's a good follow-up, and the reason we don't like to shut folks off is because it will break your site, or at the very least, all your images will be broken until the next check-in by the plugin. We generally give you at least a month to upgrade, to make sure you've seen our emails multiple times. Within 24 hours of a "shut-off" your images would be reverted to the local copies. Bandwidth is tracked on a rolling 30 day window, so there's no "reset". If you're consistently over the limit, and usage isn't coming back down, you must purchase a monthly add-on to cover the overages, or your service will eventually be discontinued.
Regarding the CDN for "other parts of your page", you can certainly do that, but it's not very good for performance. Every new service you introduce requires a DNS lookup and another connection, so 1 CDN is best.
For sure, EWWW IO does way more than just a CDN can, and would certainly work just fine with a CDN. That's how we used it in the years before we launched our own CDN, and lots of folks use it that way also. But using our CDN IS the fastest way to get images optimized and converted to WebP on your site. Otherwise, if you DID use a different CDN, you would use the Compress API to optimize all the images on your server (with WebP Conversion if you want that). Enable the lazy load, and you'll still get auto-scaling support for "responsive" images. And of course, there's also the SWIS Performance plugin included in all tiers--which has a handy CDN URL rewriter for folks like you that want to use something besides Easy IO.
Q: 1-Will url of the compressed images be changed to your CDN domain?
Won't that impact the SEO?
2-Can we use our custom domain name for the cdn url?
A: Hi sumo-lingo, great questions! 1. If you use the Easy IO CDN (which we highly recommend), yes the compressed images will be delivered from our CDN using one of our domains. However, the jury is still out on whether or not that actually impacts SEO. A guy that works at Google says it doesn't, a bunch of folks that don't think it does... At any rate, we do not use a custom domain name at ewww.io, and it has never affected our SEO. Additionally, we include a "canonical" header for all images that points search engines back to your server for the "real" authoritative version of your images. 2. As noted in the feature list, you can indeed use a custom domain for the CDN, and that's what some recommend to help with SEO when delivering images from a CDN. Primarily, using your own domain allows you to keep tabs on your image search stuff better with Google Search Console.
Q: Hi,
I would like to purchase a Tier2 LTD license but I'm not sure I understand how much traffic is included in the CDN.
The description indicates 800GB / month.
Does this mean that I will have, forever/lifetime, 800GB every month or that the traffic included in the license is 800GB "total", that is, once the quota is reached, I will have to buy a traffic addon with a monthly fee?
A: Hi info6241n, The bandwidth allocation is monthly, so it's every month. And 800GB is a ton of bandwidth to use for any site in a given month, average for a single site is somewhere around 15 GB/month.
A: Hi gandkcreative, I've not specifically tested the Litespeed image optimization service, but if it's getting you an average of 40% savings or better, with WebP conversion, lazy load, and auto-scaling AND you're happy with the speed? Then keep using it!
A: I'm not 100% sure what I'm looking at there, and the graph isn't very granular. But based on that alone, I would recommend Tier 3. Shoot an email to our support at ewww.io address and we'll make sure to help you sort that out.
A: Hi Tony, For future reference, it's usually easiest if you start your own thread/question, since we can't reply to your question directly otherwise. At any rate, from a high-level perspective, the main difference here is our SWIS Performance plugin that is like having Asset Cleanup Pro and WP Rocket combined. Beyond that, our Compress API has the best quality/compression ratio in the industry, and our Easy IO CDN (in conjunction with our Lazy Loader) has the most advanced and thorough auto-scaling and image optimization ability that I've ever seen.
Hi Huy.Digital, I wouldn't recommend using the two together, especially the two CDN services (if you're even using their AI/Adaptive Images service). It's not a scenario we ever test, and there's really no reason to keep SP active when you have EWWW IO active. Best, Shane
Our SWIS Performance plugin is intended to replace WP Rocket, but until you're ready to make the switch, feel free to keep using WP Rocket with EWWW IO. We work with them frequently to make sure our plugins are compatible :)
Q: Hey, so I made the purchase to test out and I am seeing some improvement but also having some issues.
So we optimized all the images that are above 1000px wide but now some of the images look a lot less sharp. For example, the product shot on our homepage www.leadbright.com. Does this usually happen?
Also, I can't actually click in to the SWIS "Manage JS/CSS" section to add rules for some files to load. I don't know if this is a bug or something wrong with our setup. But any help to get these fixed would be good for us to do a full review of your product.
A: Hi martin031, Those concerns would be best addressed by emailing support at ewww.io. While most of our compression methods are meant to preserve quality, the WebP conversion used by Easy IO can struggle with sharp edges. There are some tweaks for that, but we can help you further via the support email.
A: Hi Jason, great questions: 1. The Easy IO CDN works a little different than the Stackpath WAF, but can certainly work alongside it, we have lots of folks using the two together. You could use a module like this to rewrite the URLs on your site: https://www.drupal.org/project/cdn I will note that there is resizing capability built into the CDN, so if you have a PHP developer available, you might take advantage of the CDN API: https://ewww.io/exactdn-api/ 2. By implementing the Easy IO CDN, every image your visitors see will be auto-optimized, so yes, you can do pretty much unlimited pages. Only limit on the CDN is bandwidth. 3. You can certainly use this for client sites, but they won't have access to your account. For every site you add to your account, you get a unique CDN domain, and there really isn't much the client would need to worry about. 4. With drupal, it will essentially already be white-labeled, since they won't have any details regarding what you are using. You can use custom CNAMEs to give every client a custom domain name using a sub-domain of their own, or a sub-domain of your own site--cdn.client-site.com for www.client-site.com or even cdn132.awesome-devs.com. On the WP side, no we don't plan to white-label our plugins currently, but we've had some requests to customize our plugins a bit for agencies, notably removing some of the support resources, or customizing those to direct clients to the agency for support and the like. So that might be something we look into down the road. 5. We're available anytime via support at ewww.io
Q: Pardon my noob question, not much of a techie guy.
Does your Bunny CDN deliver only optimized images or the whole website with everything in it? If I purchase this, does that mean I will not need cloud hosting anymore? I can just get a normal host and use your Bunny CDN with it? Thanks!
A: HI ah_quan, That's a very good question, some CDN-style services do both assets and page content, so it's an important distinction to make. Easy IO is a pull-mode CDN for assets-only (images, JS, CSS, fonts, and such). Our SWIS plugin will add page caching if your hosting does not already have server-based page caching. Plus it has a bunch of other optimization tools for JS/CSS to complement our image optimization services. All that said, I never recommend going cheap on hosting. Not sure what you're using, but we recommend WP Engine. Been with them for 4 years and no regrets on that decision. Not cheap, but worth every penny.
Thank you for your quick reply. So I pop into the the control panel of my webhosting and here are some details:
"Global Edge Caching - Activated We automatically cache static content at our edge, ensuring rapid delivery of Images, JavaScript and CSS files to all your visitors around the world. "
By any chance these info are enough to say this is also a pull CDN? If yes, then to use your plugin effectively, I should disable my host's CDN? I assume it needs to prevent "competition" or conflict"?
Indeed, that looks like a pull-mode CDN, so you'd want to disable it so that Easy IO can deliver and optimize your images, JS & CSS.
Q: I recently used Short Pixel to optimize the images on my site.
My site is still slow to load. If I purchase EWWW, do I need to deactivate Short Pixel and do I need to reverse the process that Short Pixel did. Please advise. Thank you. This stuff is pretty new to me.....lol
A: Hi @BizHope, If you purchase EWWW IO, just deactivate SP and follow the setup instructions on your account page: https://ewww.io/account/ If you have any trouble at all, just contact our support team and we'll be glad to help you along the way. Happy Optimizing!
Does this only works for Wordpress website? All my sites are non word-press will it work as it is explained? 2. I bought tier 2 and tried testing, I can not see anything other than dashboard which has my plan information. How do I get to the dashboard shown in appsumo description? 3. I am using a MacBook, when it says: Install and activate the EWWW Image Optimizer plugin for WordPress. It downloads zip file and I cannot open any of them? What are they?
A: Hi dky_2044, 1. While we are mostly focused on WordPress sites, we have a few options for non-WP sites. Notably, our Easy IO CDN can be used anywhere you would use a pull-mode CDN like Cloudfront, KeyCDN or BunnyCDN. For the Compress API, we have a PHP CLI app you can use: https://github.com/nosilver4u/ewwwio-silo and also a PHP library: https://github.com/nosilver4u/ewwwio-php SWIS is strictly a WP plugin, so that won't be much use, but you'll get plenty of value out of the other two services :) 2. That screenshot is for the WordPress plugin, so you won't see any of that for a non-WP integration. 3. See #1, no need to grab any of the WP plugins for your setup.
If you have additional questions, shoot an email to support at ewww.io and we'll see what we can do to get you pointed in the right direction.
Right now we are using free version of smush so once we start using ewww should we keep smush free version or remove it? 2. We are also using free version of wp fastest cache plugin, so it will work together with your swiss performance plugin or should we remove wp fastest cache? 3. Do you have any step by step tutorials which can help us to get started with Compress API, Easy IO CDN, Swiss performance plugin we get with this deal. 4. We would like to compress images locally as well as put images on cdn service which we get with this deal. Also is it recommended to do like this? By the way I Really liked all the reviews and the detailed way you are answering all the questions :-)
A: Hi sunny_007, Great questions! 1. Definitely get rid of Smush free, it won't be doing anything that EWWW IO doesn't already do (and better). 2. I'd remove WPFC also and just use SWIS for page caching. 3. You'll have a quick onboarding/setup check-list on your account page when you purchase: https://ewww.io/account/ and it's pretty straight-forward from there. If you get stuck, check https://docs.ewww.io or email support and we'll get you going in the right direction :) 4. While many folks don't need local compression, there are plenty of folks that need both CDN-based and local image compression, and that's exactly how we use it on our main site at ewww.io. It makes sure we keep storage usage to a minimum, and also get all the benefits of the Easy IO CDN.
A: Hi, Thanks for your question, at this point we do not plan to offer this incredible deal again. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and ends in less than 20 hours. Seize the day :)

1. The Easy IO CDN works a little different than the Stackpath WAF, but can certainly work alongside it, we have lots of folks using the two together. You could use a module like this to rewrite the URLs on your site: https://www.drupal.org/project/cdn
I will note that there is resizing capability built into the CDN, so if you have a PHP developer available, you might take advantage of the CDN API: https://ewww.io/exactdn-api/
2. By implementing the Easy IO CDN, every image your visitors see will be auto-optimized, so yes, you can do pretty much unlimited pages. Only limit on the CDN is bandwidth.
3. You can certainly use this for client sites, but they won't have access to your account. For every site you add to your account, you get a unique CDN domain, and there really isn't much the client would need to worry about.
4. With drupal, it will essentially already be white-labeled, since they won't have any details regarding what you are using. You can use custom CNAMEs to give every client a custom domain name using a sub-domain of their own, or a sub-domain of your own site--cdn.client-site.com for www.client-site.com or even cdn132.awesome-devs.com.
On the WP side, no we don't plan to white-label our plugins currently, but we've had some requests to customize our plugins a bit for agencies, notably removing some of the support resources, or customizing those to direct clients to the agency for support and the like. So that might be something we look into down the road.
5. We're available anytime via support at ewww.io

Q: Pardon my noob question, not much of a techie guy.
Does your Bunny CDN deliver only optimized images or the whole website with everything in it?
If I purchase this, does that mean I will not need cloud hosting anymore? I can just get a normal host and use your Bunny CDN with it?
Thanks!

May 15, 2024A: HI ah_quan,
That's a very good question, some CDN-style services do both assets and page content, so it's an important distinction to make.
Easy IO is a pull-mode CDN for assets-only (images, JS, CSS, fonts, and such). Our SWIS plugin will add page caching if your hosting does not already have server-based page caching. Plus it has a bunch of other optimization tools for JS/CSS to complement our image optimization services.
All that said, I never recommend going cheap on hosting. Not sure what you're using, but we recommend WP Engine. Been with them for 4 years and no regrets on that decision. Not cheap, but worth every penny.

Thank you for your quick reply.
So I pop into the the control panel of my webhosting and here are some details:
"Global Edge Caching - Activated
We automatically cache static content at our edge, ensuring rapid delivery of Images, JavaScript and CSS files to all your visitors around the world. "
"Custom Cache Settings - 3/3 Activated
Image Cache - 1 day
CSS Cache - 1 day
JavaScript Cache - 1 day"
By any chance these info are enough to say this is also a pull CDN?
If yes, then to use your plugin effectively, I should disable my host's CDN? I assume it needs to prevent "competition" or conflict"?
Again, thank you for your patience.
Oh, it also has this, if this helps:
"Dynamic Cache - Activated
Enabling our Dynamic Cache provides the ability to cache any resource at our edge by using public Cache-Control and Expires headers."

Indeed, that looks like a pull-mode CDN, so you'd want to disable it so that Easy IO can deliver and optimize your images, JS & CSS.
Q: I recently used Short Pixel to optimize the images on my site.
My site is still slow to load. If I purchase EWWW, do I need to deactivate Short Pixel and do I need to reverse the process that Short Pixel did. Please advise. Thank you. This stuff is pretty new to me.....lol

Perfect, thank you.
Q: 1.
Does this only works for Wordpress website? All my sites are non word-press will it work as it is explained?
2. I bought tier 2 and tried testing, I can not see anything other than dashboard which has my plan information. How do I get to the dashboard shown in appsumo description?
3. I am using a MacBook, when it says:
Install and activate the EWWW Image Optimizer plugin for WordPress.
It downloads zip file and I cannot open any of them? What are they?

May 15, 2024A: Hi dky_2044,
1. While we are mostly focused on WordPress sites, we have a few options for non-WP sites.
Notably, our Easy IO CDN can be used anywhere you would use a pull-mode CDN like Cloudfront, KeyCDN or BunnyCDN. For the Compress API, we have a PHP CLI app you can use: https://github.com/nosilver4u/ewwwio-silo and also a PHP library: https://github.com/nosilver4u/ewwwio-php
SWIS is strictly a WP plugin, so that won't be much use, but you'll get plenty of value out of the other two services :)
2. That screenshot is for the WordPress plugin, so you won't see any of that for a non-WP integration.
3. See #1, no need to grab any of the WP plugins for your setup.
If you have additional questions, shoot an email to support at ewww.io and we'll see what we can do to get you pointed in the right direction.

Q: Hi, I have few questions 1.
Right now we are using free version of smush so once we start using ewww should we keep smush free version or remove it?
2. We are also using free version of wp fastest cache plugin, so it will work together with your swiss performance plugin or should we remove wp fastest cache?
3. Do you have any step by step tutorials which can help us to get started with Compress API, Easy IO CDN, Swiss performance plugin we get with this deal.
4. We would like to compress images locally as well as put images on cdn service which we get with this deal. Also is it recommended to do like this?
By the way I Really liked all the reviews and the detailed way you are answering all the questions :-)

May 15, 2024A: Hi sunny_007,
Great questions!
1. Definitely get rid of Smush free, it won't be doing anything that EWWW IO doesn't already do (and better).
2. I'd remove WPFC also and just use SWIS for page caching.
3. You'll have a quick onboarding/setup check-list on your account page when you purchase: https://ewww.io/account/ and it's pretty straight-forward from there. If you get stuck, check https://docs.ewww.io or email support and we'll get you going in the right direction :)
4. While many folks don't need local compression, there are plenty of folks that need both CDN-based and local image compression, and that's exactly how we use it on our main site at ewww.io. It makes sure we keep storage usage to a minimum, and also get all the benefits of the Easy IO CDN.
Happy Optimizing!
