  • Jedyna wtyczka jaka działa w pełni

    Testowałem wszystkie wtyczki tego typu i tylko ta działa bardzo dobrze. Do autora - jesteś wielki i dziękuję Ci za Twoją pracę. To naprawdę bardzo dobra i potrzebna praca. Dziękuję jeszcze raz.

  • Plugin Imprescindible

    Si trabajas con muchas imágenes, genera solo las miniaturas necesarias. Entre Wordpress, woocommerce y el Tema puede generar más de 12 miniaturas y algunas con tamaños repetidos, tengo una web con más de 10.000 imágenes y me generaba 120.000 ficheros. Ahora tengo solo las necesarias.

  • Does it all

    There is SO much misinformation on the internet about this. I struggled to get it right, installing plugin after plugin, even writing my own php to get it done, then I finally found this plugin that replaced 4 other plugins. It should be more widely known and used. Excellent!

  • Great plugin

    Simple and convenient plugin, excludes all unnecessary image generation. I use it on my game site [link removed by moderator] and I am satisfied. I recommend

  • Perfecto el Plugin

    Es liviano y cumple con su función, ideal para hostings donde se cuentan y se limitan los inodes / inodos.
