Image Optimizer free
Please keep in mind that the free version of the Image Optimizer has certain limitations compared to the Pro plan. You can:
- Optimize up to 50K images
- Optimize the images of up to 6 pages
Each month, the 50K image optimization quota refreshes. This implies that if you have exhausted your allowance for the current month, you will be able to optimize 50K more images after the limit resets. However, the limit for optimizing page images remains unchanged. To optimize more pages and images, upgrade to Booster Pro.
