Compare

How do we stack up?

First, I want to be very clear that we aren’t big fans of “comparison” because we share the same goal as a lot of other image optimization services: We want to help you make your site faster so that it is a better experience for your visitors. So, if you already have a solution that you’re happy with, keep using it!

That said, when you’re shopping for something, it can be helpful to see how the different options compare, so here it is:
