rheavictorQ: I'm sorry if this has been asked, or its just a dumb question, I just started my online biz and still have a lot to learn.
I currently optimize my images manually, on reduceimages.com and tinypng when needed. Having it done and served through Shortpixel CDN means that the images will be served even faster for my users?
In short, I mean, besides avoiding the manual work, there is another advantage for getting this deal, right?
Thank you and hope I can still get it!

May 14, 2024A: Hello rheavictor,
indeed, besides automating the process and saving you time, using either of ShortPixel's image optimization plugins will make sure the images are optimally compressed and cropped to the right size. And quickly served from a global CDN.
Also, please note, that while it helps to optimize images before adding them to your WordPress this isn't optimal as the thumbnails (which are the images actually served to customers) are generated by WordPress upon upload and these aren't optimized even if you optimized the original image.
Nice.
In this part: "ShortPixel's image optimization plugins will make sure the images are optimally compressed and cropped to the right size"
The auto crop and optimal compression works for Shopify too? Or only for the Wordpress since it has the 2 plugins?
I mean, the Shopify app does all the work?
Thank you.
Oh, and I'm sorry forgot one thing:
In Shopify the images still get distributed through CDN, right? I currently use cloudflare on the free plan. You know if there is any problem if I start using Shortpixel CDN (I'm dont understand that much about CDNs and stuff, as we can see...).
