Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureWith SEOAi, you can easily compress images, optimize alt texts, and change PNGs to JPEGs. Compressed and optimized images can improve the loading speed of your store, SEO, and user experience. You can also restore an individual original image or in bulk. In addition, SEOAi will periodically scan your store for new images and optimize them automatically, so there is no need to worry about slow and unoptimized images.
Slow images cost sales. Shrink Ray compresses your product images automatically, shrinking files with no visible quality loss, so your pages load faster and your image links never change. Every original is backed up before we touch it, so you can restore any image with one click. If compressing wouldn't make an image smaller, we skip it and say so. AI writes alt text for images missing it.
