Companies Using ShortPixel
We read ShortPixel on 2,977 live domains in our September 2026 crawl, with 1,946 of those matched to an enriched company record. This page previously carried the id for ShortPixel Adaptive Images, a technology our current detection cluster does not contain; it now reads id 1000413, ShortPixel. The headline number changed because the measurement changed, not because anything grew.
In practice the subject barely moved. The rule matches the script host shortpixel.ai/, and shortpixel.ai is the CDN hostname Adaptive Images delivers from, so a domain that fired the old rule fires this one. What follows is the geography, company size, industry mix and co-installed software of those 2,977 domains, alongside the five largest entries we track in the Performance Optimization category.

ShortPixel Usage Statistics
How has ShortPixel usage changed? Our series for this id holds two points: 2,155 active domains on 1 August 2026 and 2,977 on 1 September 2026. Two readings are not a trend and we will not publish one from them.
The step is also not adoption. Our crawled corpus grew from roughly 201 million to 379 million active domains between June and August 2026, so a signal can gain domains purely because more of the web came into view. Read the chart as coverage for now.
List of Companies Using ShortPixel
Who uses ShortPixel? The named list is drawn from the 1,946 enriched companies behind the 2,977 live domains, and it is more varied than the size distribution implies: a tribal government (Choctaw Nation), a Canadian e-learning vendor (D2L Corporation), an Italian industrial group (Marcegaglia), UK conservation and climate non-profits (Fauna & Flora International, C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group) and French public-sector organisations (Sib, Mipih, ANRAS).
These are enriched matches, not a customer roster. The great majority of the 2,977 domains are small WordPress sites that carry no company record at all, which is what the size table describes.

Which Countries Use ShortPixel the Most?
Which countries use ShortPixel the most? Of the 1,946 enriched companies, the United States supplies the most at 729, ahead of the United Kingdom (212), France (90), Germany (89), Canada (88) and the Netherlands (85).
Continental Europe is more present than the English-speaking head suggests: France, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark (60), Belgium (53) and Italy (46) together contribute 423 companies, twice the United Kingdom's 212.
Share of the 1,946 ShortPixel domains we matched to a company record — 65.4% of the 2,977 we detect. Top 15 countries shown, so these do not sum to 100%. Domains with no matching company record are not represented here and skew small and independent.
ShortPixel Market Share Among Performance Optimization
What is ShortPixel's market share? 0.02%, ranking 16th in Performance Optimization as of September 2026. The page previously claimed a 0.29% share and a #1 ranking in an image optimisation category; both belonged to the retired id and neither survives the re-identification.
The denominator is worth understanding before the percentage means anything. The category's largest entry is Priority Hints on 11,993,299 domains (91.86%), a resource-priority hint written into markup rather than a product anyone installs. Against a base that size, a WordPress image CDN on 2,977 domains reads as a rounding error by arithmetic. The useful comparison is with the other plugins in the table below, not with the category total.
Top Competitors by Market Share
ShortPixel Customers by Company Size & Age
What size companies run ShortPixel? Small ones. 60.64% of enriched companies have 1-10 employees and another 26.19% have 11-50, so 86.83% of the base sits under fifty people. Above 500 employees there are 44 companies in total: 28 at 501-1,000, 11 at 1,001-5,000, 3 at 10,001+ and 2 at 5,001-10,000.
Where a larger organisation does appear, the detection is sometimes on a secondary property rather than the main site. CORT is matched on blog.cort.com and Biglar on blog.biglar.com.br.

What Industries Use ShortPixel the Most?
Which industries use ShortPixel? Construction leads at 6.91% (119 companies), followed by Advertising Services (3.72%), IT Services and IT Consulting (3.31%), Medical Practices (2.61%) and Software Development (2.56%). No vertical clears 7% and the tenth-placed industry is still at 1.86%, so this is a horizontal long tail rather than a vertical product.
Construction companies using ShortPixel are the largest single vertical at 6.91%, and the only industry above 4%. Advertising Services (3.72%) and IT Services and IT Consulting (3.31%) follow at roughly half that rate.
Below the top three the shares compress quickly. Medical Practices, Software Development, Business Consulting and Services, Retail, Non-profit Organizations, Hospitality and Technology, Information and Internet all land between 1.86% and 2.61%, close enough that the ordering between them carries little information.
ShortPixel Alternatives & Competitors
What else is in the Performance Optimization category? The five largest entries we track are Priority Hints (11,993,299 domains, 91.86%), Autoptimize (234,098, 1.79%), WP Fastest Cache (206,938, 1.58%), Cloudflare Rocket Loader (192,665, 1.48%) and EWWW Image Optimizer (130,902, 1.00%).
Only one of those is an image tool. EWWW Image Optimizer is the nearest like-for-like at 130,902 domains, about 44 times ShortPixel's 2,977. The rest of the table is caching and script loading, which is a different job on the same page.

Tech Stack of ShortPixel-Powered Websites
What else runs on ShortPixel sites? WordPress is on 2,938 of the 2,977 domains (98.79%). That single figure defines the customer: this is a WordPress plugin's image CDN and almost nothing else fetches it.
Inside WordPress the split is between page builders and classic themes, with Elementor on 22.97% and Divi on 13.32%, leaving roughly two thirds on something else. jQuery (87.22%) and jQuery Migrate (67.38%) put most of these sites on older theme code. Google Analytics (72.56%) and Cloudflare (53.19%) complete an ordinary small-site stack, though the Cloudflare row is worth a second look: just over half of these domains are running two CDNs at once, one for images and one for everything else.

ShortPixel Customer Reviews with Pros and Cons
What do G2 reviewers say about ShortPixel? The pros and cons below come from G2's sentiment snippets, and every one of them carries a mention count of 0: G2 surfaced the themes but attributed no reviews to them. Read them as unweighted labels rather than as a score.
Note also that the G2 listing covers ShortPixel as a product family, while this page measures one signal, the CDN host being fetched. The two are describing different scopes.
Generated from real user reviews on G2
- Users consistently praise the ease of use and bulk improvement capabilities of ShortPixel, highlighting how it simplifies image compression for websites.
- Many appreciate that it automatically refines images without sacrificing quality, making it a reliable choice for improving site performance.
- A common limitation noted is the credit system, which can require additional purchases for extensive use.
Expert Analysis: ShortPixel Growth Trends & Key Signals for Sales Teams in 2026
ShortPixel was re-identified in September 2026. The profile previously carried the id for ShortPixel Adaptive Images, which our current detection cluster does not contain; it now reads id 1000413, ShortPixel. Because the rule matches the script host shortpixel.ai/ and that host is the CDN Adaptive Images delivers from, the subject of the page is essentially unchanged. The numbers moved; the thing being counted did not.
What the signal proves. A match means the page requested an image from ShortPixel's CDN while we rendered it. That is a live fetch, not a configuration marker: when delivery is switched off, the host stops appearing and the domain leaves the set. It is a stricter test than most plugin detections, which read a leftover file path or a generator tag, and it is the likeliest reason the churn here is small, at 121 previously-detected domains against 2,977 live ones.
The customer is a WordPress site. A 98.79% overlap with WordPress is about as concentrated as this measurement gets, and the size table agrees: 86.83% of enriched companies are under fifty employees, and five are above five thousand. There is no second segment hiding in the data, and no enterprise story to tell.
Where the old page was wrong. The retired id supported a claim of 0.29% share and a #1 category ranking. Under the current category, Performance Optimization, ShortPixel reads 0.02% and ranks 16th. Neither figure describes a change in the product's fortunes: the category is different, and its denominator is set by Priority Hints on nearly twelve million domains. Comparing the two numbers compares two different questions.
What we will not say yet. Two monthly readings is not a series. Our corpus grew from roughly 201 million to 379 million active domains between June and August 2026, so the month-on-month rise here is at least partly coverage. We are not calling it growth, and there is no migration corridor to report.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who uses ShortPixel?
We detect ShortPixel on 2,977 domains, including Choctaw Nation, CORT, Thersa. A detection means the technology is present on that domain, which for large organisations is often a single storefront or subdomain rather than a company-wide deployment. Among domains we matched to a company with a resolved industry, the most common is Construction (6.91%).
How many customers does ShortPixel have?
We detect 2,977 domains running ShortPixel across our monthly crawl of live business domains. Company data could be matched for 1,946 of them (65.4%), and every company-size, industry and country breakdown on this page describes that matched subset rather than the full detected base. A further 121 domains carried a ShortPixel detection previously and no longer do.
What is ShortPixel's market share?
0.02% of the Performance Optimization category, ranking 16th as of September 2026. That percentage is set mostly by its denominator: the category's largest entry, Priority Hints, is a markup-level resource hint present on 11,993,299 domains. Comparing ShortPixel with the other image and caching plugins in the table is more informative than comparing it with the category total.
What are the best alternatives to ShortPixel?
The top alternatives to ShortPixel include Priority Hints (91.86% market share), Autoptimize (1.79% market share), WP Fastest Cache (1.58% market share), Cloudflare Rocket Loader (1.48% market share) — measured as a share of the domains we detect running a platform in this category.
Which countries use ShortPixel the most?
The United States leads with 729 enriched companies, followed by the United Kingdom (212), France (90), Germany (89), Canada (88) and the Netherlands (85). Continental Europe collectively outweighs the United Kingdom: France, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium and Italy account for 423 companies between them.
What size companies use ShortPixel?
Small ones. Across 1,946 enriched companies, 60.64% have 1-10 employees and 26.19% have 11-50, for 86.83% under fifty people. Only 44 companies in the whole enriched base have more than 500 employees, and three have more than 10,000.
How old are companies that use ShortPixel?
Among the ShortPixel domains we could match to a company with a known founding date, the largest group was founded in the 2010s (39.93%), followed by the 2000s (18.69%). That matched subset is drawn from 1,946 companies and is not representative of all 2,977 detected domains. This suggests ShortPixel is most popular among relatively young companies.
What is the ideal customer profile for ShortPixel?
The ideal ShortPixel customer is: Company Size: 1-10 employees, Location: United States or United Kingdom, Platform: WordPress, Founded: 2010s, Company Age: Roughly 7-16 years — based on our analysis of 1,946 enriched companies at TechnologyChecker.io.
What does this page measure for ShortPixel?
It counts domains where a script was loaded from the host shortpixel.ai while we rendered the page. That host is ShortPixel's image CDN, the one ShortPixel Adaptive Images delivers from, so a match means images were being served through ShortPixel at crawl time rather than that a plugin file exists on the server.
Is this the same thing the page used to be about?
Very nearly. The profile previously carried the id for ShortPixel Adaptive Images, which our current detection cluster does not contain, and now reads id 1000413, ShortPixel. Since the rule matches shortpixel.ai and that is the hostname Adaptive Images serves from, a domain that matched the old id matches this one. The subject is continuous even though the number is not.
Why did the ShortPixel numbers change?
Because the measurement changed, not because anything grew or shrank. Re-pointing the profile at a different technology id means a different set of domains, a different category and a different rank. Old figures from this page — a 0.29% share, a #1 category ranking, named customers such as HighLevel and Apptio — do not carry over and have been removed.
How many websites use ShortPixel?
We read ShortPixel on 2,977 live domains in our September 2026 crawl, of which 1,946 matched an enriched company record. A further 121 domains were detected previously and were not live at the last reading.
Does ShortPixel only work with WordPress?
Our data cannot tell you what it supports, only where it runs. Of the 2,977 domains we detect, 2,938 (98.79%) also run WordPress, so in practice this is a WordPress install base. Elementor appears on 22.97% and Divi on 13.32%.
Is ShortPixel still in use in 2026?
Yes. Our most recent reading, 1 September 2026, found 2,977 active domains, up from 2,155 on 1 August. We are not presenting that as growth: two monthly readings is too short a series, and our crawled corpus expanded from roughly 201 million to 379 million active domains between June and August 2026, so some of the increase is coverage.
