Gumlet Reviews

Summary: Good, you could try free service first. I'm user in China and happy to find it could be visited and speedy. Some other CDN are blocked in China :(

Positive: Easy Startup: They have Setup Instructions in the dashboard, so you are easy to aboard. The WordPress plugin could install directly in WordPress, not need to upload.

Negative: Easy setup, cname function, WordPress plugin, speed visit in China.

Summary: Gumlet's pricing is really competitive in the crowded image optimization space. It's definitely worth giving them a go.

Positive: Gumlet is easy to integrate into any website and really helps speed up page loading times. Their support is fantastic too :)

Negative: I really can't think of any. Perhaps roll out agency features more quickly?

Summary: Happy with the service and the features offered. The team has been updating about the features and progress- I think the service is shaping up rather well.

Positive: I had used the base plan of Gumlet last year, and was thrilled to see the Appsumo offer. Bought 2 codes, tested out the WordPress plugin for a WP site, and a web folder. The setup is easy, steps are rather well documented. Have/had also tried Cloudinary, Shortpixel AI and Cloudimage and Gumlet is one of the easier ones to work with. The WP plugin makes configuration a no brainer, like it even though personally I like to peek under the hood for configurations.

Negative: After some initial hiccups with the cName, things worked out well for the non- WP sites. The migration to gumlet.io domain has been rather challenging- the image URL will have to be updated for many of my non WP sites. But if the short term pain leads to long term gains (in ease/ stability/ etc) then it might be taken with stride.

Summary: I like it. Especially the fact that is a kind of all in one solution. no need to resize images manually.

Positive: Constantly improving and Helpful customer support
you get 1 GB Bandwidth for free. So if you have a low traffic site you can potentially use the service for free.

Negative: Possible to connect only Gumlet CDN and Cloudfront. there is not an easy way to connect others CDN providers.
Price is higher compared to other CDN like BunnyCDN. But here you get an all in one solution to automatically optimize images.

Summary: Gumlet is a one-stop solution for your Images. Crop, Scale, Host, and many more at one step. Looking forward to upcoming features.

Positive: I am using Gumlet for the past couple of months and it's giving impressive results:

- Easy to use
- Fast
- Scalable

Negative: - An issue with some WordPress plugin
- Slow Support

Summary: Speed Optimization is important for SEO, so if you are serious about SEO you need to be serious about your sites speed.

Positive: Easy to setup, Dint need any code changes. Support was super good and fast. Optimized my site in less than 15 min.

Negative: At the very first after installing plugin my site got broke. No doubt AWS Cloudfront CDN is awesome at an affordable price, but support is not as good as CDN service 🙁
Manual clear site cache is needed.

Summary: Overall, it is a good and easy tool for image optimization and hosting them in CDN for sites crated with WordPress.

Positive: The system is easy to set up, and can be up and running within an hour.

Support is fast and responds within a day.

Negative: You have to pay for custom domain, which I think should be part of the cost.

Summary: Overall, the tool is very easy to setup, and to monitor. Analytics are good. Speed performance has improved slightly through Cloudfront CDN, not Gumlet's own CDN.

Positive: I like about their eagerness to improve Gumlet continuously. The tool started with a lot of bugs, but it has improved significantly.

Negative: Cloudfront CDN is what Gumlet promised to deliver. Not sure how Gumlet own CDN is performing, vs Cloudfront CDN.

Summary: Very good software for image compression on your website. We use it for WordPress and Magento system.

Positive: I use many optimisation software like CloudImage, Image4io .... But Gumlet is clearly the best one to try.

Really easy to use, a perfect and easy to install system.

Negative: Cloudimage have just a little better compression algorithm.

Summary: The service is easy to use and for it's complexity there is enough documentation too. It's a well thought through service which is new but in it's core already pretty matured.
If they keep up their recently rapid pace, I have high hopes for the future.
Good 4 Stars for now.

Positive: It works and I like the concept of lazy load combined with exactly the size needed. I also like the many API-parameters you can use to size, crop, watermark, color-manipulate, ... the image.
They evolve rapidly and listen to the request of their customers.

Negative: The CDN worked reliable and fast as they used the Amazon CDN, but I have concerns about the future, as they switch now to their own CDN, which has only some nodes. But time will tell.
The rather new WordPress-Plugin needs still some work, but it's going into the right direction. Some things like css background-images were added just recently and do not work in all situation.

Summary: Overall, it is a nice piece of software. If you have to batch process images this will wok for you.

Positive: I was looking for an easy way to batch process a couple of hundred pictures at a time to get ready for use on websites. Gumlet did the trick.

Negative: Based off of the description, I was expecting this to do a lot more than it did.
