    What merchants praise

    “I used this app to optimize our website so it would load faster. The support (Miranda) was great. She was very responsive. It did speed things up, but is still is on the sluggish side.”

    What merchants complain about

    “Not really impressed. day 3 of the free trial, it won't work and show me my dashboard. It's still saying it's optimising my images which should not take 3 days to do. I have emailed and no reply and I have sent two support requests via Shopify which resulted in 2 automatic responses. I should not have to leave a bad review to try and get a response. All I want to know is if this is going to work or if my money will be better spent elsewhere. Please help”
