What's included

  • WebP and AVIF served correctly
  • Right level: Glossy or Lossy
  • Save credits: exclude unneeded sizes
  • Whole media library bulk-optimized
  • Delivery verified in browser

ShortPixel is powerful, but its credit billing confuses many: each image size counts separately, and with many thumbnail sizes credits run out fast. Typical problems: WebP/AVIF is generated but not served because the delivery method (htaccess or <picture>) is missing, compression is too aggressive ("Lossy" instead of "Glossy"), or unnecessary image sizes eat credits.

We set the right compression level (often "Glossy" for photographers, "Lossy" for standard sites), enable WebP and AVIF with the correct delivery method, and exclude unnecessary thumbnail sizes so your credits don't vanish. Then we optimize the whole media library in bulk and verify delivery in the browser. Everything remote, GDPR-compliant, €79/h incl. VAT with no subscription – free quote up front.

WP Bit has handled WordPress performance since 2016 and squeezes the most out of your ShortPixel plan. We set it up so new uploads are optimized automatically, and help instantly via WhatsApp if AVIF delivery ever hiccups.
