Dear @alexkovalevv
I wanted to take a moment to clarify a few points regarding our collaboration:
- We only increased the API price once after a year of your usage, and this was done solely to keep up with inflation and operational costs.
- Our intention has never been to harm your users. On the contrary, we agreed to offer you access to the API for an extended period, even though we had no direct benefit from doing so 🙂
- Unfortunately, it was your actions that ultimately impacted your users. Instead of reaching out to find a solution, you chose to push updates to your plugin that attempted to circumvent our API restrictions.
- I first reached out to you in early November, providing ample time to respond and work toward an agreement. However, it seemed this matter wasn’t prioritized on your end.
Good luck with your plugin in the future, and thank you for no longer attempting to bypass the proper use of the reSmush.it infrastructure.
@sardelich Allow me to elaborate on “the problem with the servers” that they’re “working on regularly.” 🙂
- Both WP Optimize and Robin Image Optimizer offer free image optimization, but not with their own infrastructure – they rely on reSmush.it infrastructure.
- WP Optimize was kind enough to officially acknowledge this in their plugin and also support reSmush.it by paying a monthly fee for commercial use. Thank you!
- Robin Image Optimizer not only fails to officially acknowledge that they have been using reSmush.it servers to power the commercial use of their plugin, but they also refused to contribute a small monthly fee to support reSmush.it’s costs. In our communication with them, they explicitly agreed to stop using reSmush.it infrastructure to power Robin Image Optimizer.
- For almost a month now, we have been limiting access to reSmush.it servers for Robin, but they continue to push updates attempting to circumvent these restrictions. This is the actual reason for the “problems” and their “solutions.”
It would be nice if the Robin team acknowledged that they have been piggybacking on reSmush.it’s infrastructure from the very beginning, stopped attempting to do so, and started using their own servers.
Hi there,
It’s Adrian from reSmush.it!
The issue in this scenario seems to be that the REST API is not working on your website anymore, so external CURLs are not working either which make you unable to use the image optimization feature.
This can also be observed in WP-Admin > Tools > Site Health
Unfortunately, this is not something we can fix from our end as it’s not related to our servers and would need to be fixed from your end. When the REST API is working again, everything should be back to normal and you should be able to optimize images with WP Optimize or reSmush.it
If you need more assistance regarding this issue please reach out to us at https://resmush.it/contact/
All the best,

Hi there,
WP Optimize is using the reSmush.it API for image optimization. Our network provider had some temporary issues last night which caused intermittent issues with two of our servers located in the same datacenter while all the others worked fine, but this was fixed in the meantime.
Could you please check if you still encounter any issues? If you still encounter the same error, please make sure that Germany is not blocked in any firewall and contact us using https://resmush.it/contact/ so we can continue the investigation.
All the best,
Indeed 🙂
Hi @daverobinsonpw,
Thanks for your message, we’ve updated the plugin’s page, it will arrive soon online.
Thanks to our extraordinary community, we’ve reached the first step of our financial project : https://www.patreon.com/posts/first-step-whats-90966000 But we’ll need more participations to make things even better !
Regards,
Charles
Hi @pagevalleynews ,
Currently, we do not want to create plans for the API, and we’d like to keep it free as much as possible. Creating plans, will require complex developments. So we just ask for community’s generosity to maintain the service available. Feel free to contribute through our Patreon https://www.patreon.com/resmushit

Charles
Hi @pagevalleynews,
That’s not exactly what is written on our plugin. reSmush.it is providing for free until now, but server costs have increased, and we cannot afford this amount unless our community can help and participate through Patreon. If we succeed in collecting enough per month, we’ll continue the API. If not, we’ll have to reconsider the current position of reSmush.it, and maybe shutdown the service.
Feel free to participate, all help is greatly appreciated !
Regards,
Charles, founder of reSmush.it.PS: our website is not yet updated, it’ll be soon.
Hi @zoptimus
reSmush.it plugin will support only .jpg/png/gif files. So if in your library, there’s other filetypes, they won’t be counted in the statistics. Let us know!

CharlesHi guys,
Are you sure you’ve never used the option “Do not preserve backups” ? Because, if you do so, it’s a totally expected behavior.

CharlesHi @alanmosko ,
This is not the goal of the plugin. It will preserve your original picture to avoid loose it. If you want to resize your original picture before, there’s many plugins that will do that 🙂

Charles
