Too funny. I just got the Email and thought "I wonder if Imran has reviewed this" searched your channel but didn't find it. A few minutes leter thought "let me just search KZbin." Found your video "Uploaded 20 seconds ago" As always, thank you for being so on top of things!

[@websquadron]

I was waiting for Elementor to hit the green-light with their email :)

[@dan_kay]

Exact same here. I was 30 seconds into the video and got the Elementor email.

[@francisokech]

Hello Imran. I just wanted to thank you for continuing to put out these elementor videos. Thank you for consistent hand and guidance.

[@websquadron]

My pleasure!

[@nsa5]

Love how Ran coordinates timing of this video with the latest email from Elementor lol, great work!

[@cameron9695rhysd]

I’ll check this out. I usually resize before uploading and use imagify on the site but this worth checking out depending on pricing

[@edywerder]

I think this is a very useful plugin with the max size for width - I bet it will be preinstalled in their hosting plan.

[@visualmodo]

Truly good content =DDD

[@rinkap1030]

HI Imran, thanks for the video, I would love to see you do an explanation of how this actually works with images, in terms of how they are displayed in the front end based on different size devices. I am trying to understand if this plugin will do the same job as an image cdn, say like shortpixel. Or is it just another imagify type of plugin that only works on the media library itself, but not within elementor editor, in which case I still have to go and resize and crop each image based on responsive breakpoints. Can you please answer this? Thanks again for all your work on youtube!

[@cameron9695rhysd]

First 👍 love these videos!

[@websquadron]

Yay! Thank you!

[@simon-pierredupuis5238]

They might have listened to your video because I can see how many credits are left in the media UI 😄It's a third column titles "Images in your plan" on top at the right-side of "Space savedÉ and "Images optimized".

[@websquadron]

Yup got added in the latest version :)

[@pauserratgutierrez]

Your voice sounds robotic. Check your settings for the next video! Awesome video as always!😊

[@websquadron]

I had a sore throat when this was recorded. It eases off as the video progresses.

[@popandbob]

I’m curious to see if anyone does any comparisons with the different image optimisers. I’ve been using wp-optimise because it does database, images, cache, and js/css all in one but maybe a specialised plugin would do it better… would be interesting to see.

[@websquadron]

I’ve done some comparisons between several plugins and solutions and the differences are minor

[@reinhardeschbach7910]

Great Video Imran, as always. I'm using the snippet "Convert To WebP" which works pretty good. Do you see any advantages with the plugin?

[@websquadron]

It’s just another way of doing what you can with that other plugin

[@cannyclever3973]

Why would you save an image as a PNG which doesn't use transparency?

[@wgm247]

Sorry i switched off after i heard the word "credits"

[@dan_kay]

Is there any specific advantage of the Elementor plugin over any other free optimisation plugin?

[@PicSta]

Elementor image optimization isn't free as its limited in how many images you can convert. Technically, any other web app or plugin will do the job too.

[@websquadron]

The bulk optimisation and convert on upload is more reliable that some free solutions. Compared to EWWW and Optimole this fits that market.

[@CrystalRicotta]

I pay for Adobe and export for web - legacy classic style. Do people not do this ?

[@websquadron]

I used to until I stopped my adobe subscription

[@PicSta]

It's funny! It's like a shoemaker now also knitting hats. Instead of creating new products, they should work on the builder or listen to customers wishing for feature requests. Happy new business model, Elementor. Thanks for something we ever wanted NOT.

[@SamWereb]

I hope this goes big and the revenue it generates will cure Elementor's poverty and eventually enable them to implement features we actually want. 🤞

[@PicSta]

@@SamWereb Don't you think it's better that Elementor focuses on their builder instead of introducing different/new products?!

[@captainsparky5839]

​What feature is it lacking? ​@@PicSta Genuine question, cause im learning elementor as a beginner.

[@daedaluxe]

I'm a simple plugin user, I see credits, I never use the plugin and I start to think about whether I continue to use other plugins from the plugin author. Especially when there are free optimisation plugins that do the exact same thing. This whole payments on top of payments structure they're doing is really trash lately, bundle it into the plugin that we already are paying for, why is this shit on a different payment structure? Don't use the Elementor name if you're going to do this.

[@websquadron]

It’s a bit like EWWW and Optimole and other solutions where you pay monthly for conversions.

[@grazhdanin86]

code snippets

[@ronrichardson175]

WHY? Credits? They're charging for this... wtf. I don't get their business plan here when a free plugin does exactly the same - like EWWW Image Optimizer. Elementor should stick to the basics - why waste their time and resources on something that's easily found free elsewhere. Sheesh.

[@websquadron]

EWWW you have to pay, right? I was using them on a site for Bulk Optimisation.

[@solyplaya89]

There is or was a lifetime deal on appsumo. Ewww is very good. I love Elementor but wouldn't pay for this image optimization plugin. d@@websquadron

[@amdipm]

there is also Converter for Media - Optimize images for webp that is free and does excellent job....

[@jacobwonder6735]

This video sounds like lossy, I can tell you 'optimized' the audio somehow..

[@websquadron]

I’ve realised that the audio normalisation may have gone a little weird near the start :)
