A: We have no cap on number of images that can be optimized through our plugin. You will be charged when your image delivery bandwidth exceeds 1 GB in a given month. ### Q: How can I remove the 1 GB limit? A: The limit is not hard enforced. When you cross the limit, we will send you invoice at the start of next month. Please pay it in 20 days and enjoy uninterrupted image delivery experience. ### Q: Does Gumlet delete or replace my original full-size images? A: Nope. Your original images always remain as they are and we never touch them. We only resize and compress images on-the-fly and cache it in our servers. You retain full control over your original images and they are never overwritten. ### Q: I’m a photographer, can I keep all my EXIF data? A: Yes! EXIF data stores camera settings, focal length, date, time and location information in image files. Since we never overwrite your original images, your all EXIF data will always be preserved. We only remove the EXIF data when we deliver images to your users. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3305bc0ae5bc16973d7a3f647e14454c67bc474fcccca4ef74382f20c4518a24? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great CDN + image optimization and amazing support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-cdn-image-optimization-and-amazing-support/)󠁿 [fabien789](https://profiles.wordpress.org/fabien789/) April 1, 2022 I’m a customer for 2 years and I have to say that Gumlet is getting better and better every month. They always implement the latest technologies available to make websites fast and media assets look great. I totally rely on it to optimize my images and static content delivery (CSS and js) to make sure my wordpress is fast. I have nothing bad to say about it. I just had a ssl problem once but it has been fixed within 2 hours. I contacted the support 5 to 10 times and I always had quick and professional answers. I recommend this product to all my clients. Gumlet doesn’t ask me to leave a review but I’m just surprised not to see more excellent ones. Keep doing a great job like this. Thanks! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/272a701978fe83cb068256883eafed2c06f9c5410ee4309c93f98b21cff33b8f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great Customer Support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-customer-support-223/)󠁿 [Henry Hoe](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hyzhenry/) February 18, 2022 I had a problem trying to serve my JS & CSS files through gumlet. Thanks to the team they were able to fix it for me. Awesome company. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/77eaee5b7ab363d75168c8e664c1a468fdfa33e967a352527e1831f411d97547? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Using on Dozens of Sites](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-on-dozens-of-sites-2/)󠁿 [Mike Allen](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mta1/) August 25, 2020 I’ve yet to find “the perfect” image optimization tool and CDN but Gumlet comes close. I manage nearly 100 WordPress sites and use Gumlet more than competing tools. For sites using Divi or with complex galleries and background layouts, many image optimization plugins seem to break something. I’ve tested premium versions of Gumlet, ShortPixel Adaptive Images, WP Compress, Cloudimage, and Smush Pro. I’ve found Gumlet( and ShortPixel Adaptive Images for Divi sites) to be the most reliable for optimizing and offloading images off my server via a CDN. If anything looks off, usually I can uncheck one of the few settings and it’s resolved. I’ve had to reach out to Gumlet’s support a few times and found them to be responsive and helpful. I like how Gumlet does not alter the actual images at all. It does all the optimizations via copies stored on their CDN. Some image-optimization plugins like Smush Pro and ShortPixel (ShortPixel Adaptive Images is different) actually change and overwrite your images. That can be a bad thing to do to a client’s images (though the above mentioned options can make backups and revert things if needed). In short, I recommend Gumlet. They work, are affordable to deploy, and are regularly improving their product and management dashboard. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0ea9053e9f9cb9f34a305af2aed799232f84dc3da29ba5bcf3fd5b245c707fab? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Reliable CDN + Image Optimization Plugin (Elementor](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reliable-cdn-image-optimization-plugin-elementor/)󠁿 [alexdo](https://profiles.wordpress.org/wozprezel/) July 16, 2020 Great plugin that is user friendly!
