Smush alt tags are removed

With the free version of Smush plugin, I had some problems, whenever I uploaded a file and put the alt tag in, smush it the reoptimized it and left out the alt tag. Is this issue still persists on the current version of the Smush Pro?

And also I’m wondering about the “serve scaled images” recommendation – does smush it fix that automatically? and How can I enable that?

    Hello Benjamin

    I hope you’re doing well!

    With the free version of Smush plugin, I had some problems, whenever I uploaded a file and put the alt tag in, smush it the reoptimized it and left out the alt tag. Is this issue still persists on the current version of the Smush Pro?

    I’ve tested the plugin on my end and could not replicate this issue. Please install the plugin on a staging site and let us know if this issue still there.

    If you wish to test it on a production site, please make a site to have a site’s backup so in case if something will go wrong you can restore your site. You can create site’s back up with the Snapshot Pro plugin.

    And also I’m wondering about the “serve scaled images” recommendation – does smush it fix that automatically? and How can I enable that?

    The Smush’s CDN feature can increase the score for the “serve scaled images” recommendation. Please go to Smush > CDN, click on the Get Started link to enable it.

    Enable “Enable automatic resizing of my images” option. Please see this screenshot:

    The Smush CDN will serve already resized images, that will match the container size these images are located in.

    Let us know if you have any further questions!

    Kind regards,
