What is Image optimizer?

Optimizing images auto-compresses your store's images without quality loss while optimizing SEO potential through proper alt text.

This helps your site load quickly, pleasing both Google Search and your visitors.

Also it improves your store's visibility in search results.

What you'll get after compressing

• Faster page load times: Reduced image file sizes mean quicker page rendering, especially on mobile

• Better Core Web Vitals: Directly improves Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) score

• Higher SEO ranking: Google uses page speed as a ranking factor — lighter images help you rank higher

• Lower bandwidth costs: Smaller images reduce hosting and CDN data transfer

• Improved conversion rates: Studies show every second of load time improvement increases conversion by up to 7%
