What's going wrong
Site owners who upgraded to the newest release of this image optimization plugin say the admin screens are now crowded with advertisements and promotional prompts. They must dismiss messages repeatedly before they can do ordinary work, which slows routine tasks. Long-time users say the plugin once felt clean and dependable, and the change makes it feel less like a professional tool. The opportunity is a clean, ad-free image optimizer sold as a paid product, with a clear promise that no upsell messages will appear in the dashboard.
