They paywalled previously free features

    They basically paywalled all the features that used to make the plugin stand out and were previously free. Some of my customers still use their regular plugin or CDN, and even they have to pay for it now.

    Fortunately, Exactly WWW stepped up and offered some of the same functionalities with their plugin “Force Regenerate Thumbnails” – and it’s free. To be honest, EWWW IO is the better image optimizer anyway, even if it’s not as fancy looking as ShortPixel.

    I’m going to avoid ShortPixel-related products for now, because who knows what they’ll start charging for next. I can’t and won’t rely on tools from authors who may revoke access on a whim and without any warning.

    Hi RockYourBlog,

    Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

    Developing and supporting a free plugin takes a lot of time, effort, and money. It’s disheartening to see that while you didn’t take the time to leave a positive review after using our plugin, you did take the time to leave a negative one 🙁

    Maybe you can suggest a better approach on how we could be supported in maintaining this free plugin?

    Thank you,
