The free account restricts you to processing 50 images at a time and all of the advanced settings require the Pro version. We couldn’t get Smush to see the images in the Media Library unless we used the Media Library itself to upload the images and bulk Smush wouldn’t work until we disabled all of the image size variations, even though they weren’t on the server. So why is Smush so popular? It has the virtue of having been around a long time, since 2008, and has a big development team behind it which provides active support. Our experience was a bit rocky. The results of the optimization of those images were exactly the same as EIn order to see any significant gains you’ll need to pony up and join WPMU, but even then WPMU only promises up to 14.92% reductions using the Pro version and that’s using lossy compression. They impose a 1MB file size limit with the free version of their plugin which is the most restrictive of all the plugins we tested and meant that only 5/18 of our images were processed. However we couldn’t get very far with Smush. With over 700,000 active installs, they must be doing something right. Smush has been around a long time and has earned a reputation for being a reliable tool to optimize images.
