Smush WordPress Plugin Comparison (Free vs Pro)

Smush WordPress Plugin Comparison (Free vs Pro) In this video, we're going to be testing the "Smush" plugin for WordPress, which we can use to speed up our website, by compressing our image files down to a much lower size. And without losing any of the image quality. So, I'm going to test the speed of my demo website before and after using the plugin to compare the different times. And then after that, I'm going to upgrade the plugin and retest my site speed, so we can see the difference between the free and pro versions of the smush plugin.
