  • Works great with Accelerated Domains

    I've tried this out with Accelerated Domains and it works like a charm. Under the hood the code is really easy to understand and well written. Recommended.

  • Smashing

    Although this is a new plugin, it's been developed and tested over several years and it shows. Dead simple user interface and does exactly what it needs to do with no fuss.

  • Just worked

    Kinda amazing how simply this just works with Cloudflare. Definitely use this if you have a pro plan.

    Simply magic!

  • Performant images for no effort!

    This is just such an obviously useful plugin for anyone who cares about performance, and doesn't want to spend ages fiddling with images.
