🔌 The Burden of Local Plugins

Many WordPress users install tools like Smush or ShortPixel, only to realize their server CPU usage has maxed out. Compressing images requires heavy mathematical calculations. When your shared hosting server tries to do this, your website slows down for your visitors.

☁️ The Edge Processing Difference

ImageTight does not use your web host's CPU. The ImageTight Companion plugin intercepts the upload and sends it securely to our Vercel Edge API. Our enterprise-grade servers crack the image format, strip metadata, convert to WebP/AVIF, and send back a tiny file.

💰 Pricing Transparency

ShortPixel charges monthly recurring fees. If you don't use your credits, you lose them. ImageTight offers lifetime credits. You buy a top-up, and those credits stay in your account forever until you use them. It's the most transparent pricing on the market.
