Review:
neo Lazy - Florian Krines - Knusper Photography

Already in the development phase I was able to take a close look at neo Optimize. The plugin does first of all everything a lazy loader should do. It delays loading images. I was amazed when I found that even loading of background images is reliably deferred. Like all neo plugins I have tested so far neo Lazy is solidly implemented. I am very satisfied.

I discovered neo Draw when I was looking for Paint for WordPress and found exactly that. A very intuitive and powerful drawing tool. Unlike Paint, neo Draw has well chosen color palettes. ;) I especially like the consistent drawing look with the matching font. The whole design looks very cohesive and well thought out. The integrated icon library includes emojis, a wide selection of icons and even animated GIFs. You can also add your own images, GIFs and icons to the drawings. Thanks for the valuable tool!

During the development phase I already had the opportunity to test neo Draw more closely. The plugin is super fast and perfectly integrated into WordPress. Editing the drawings is possible directly in the page builder. The raw data is embedded in the image file and can be easily transferred to another domain by downloading the file. It is amazing that the drawings are still displayed even if the plugin is deactivated. Very nice! All very high quality and reliable. The developer also responds to technical questions immediately. I am very satisfied.

Through a software developer from neo WP I got early access to neo Draw. I actually only wanted to create a few drawings until I realized what is possible with neo Draw. You can draw anything easily: logos, icons, tables, decorations, ... It is also possible to draw and paint over existing images. With the link function I even drew my own buttons and linked them. Particularly brilliant is that everything can be animated with just one click, which looks very impressive.

As a beta tester I was able to test neo Optimize extensively. What is very well solved about neo Optimize is that all images and the entire content folder remain untouched. The plugin creates thumbnails in a separate folder and leaves the database 100% unchanged. I have not seen such a solution in any other media optimize plugin so far.

In an early test version neo Optimize completely impressed me. Once activated, everything runs by itself - exactly how you want it. The images are automatically optimized and cached on the first page load, without you having to worry about anything. I particularly like the image quality setting with an immediate preview of the compressed image. It is simply an all-around successful plugin that works reliably and absolutely convinced me. The neoTeam did a great job.

In the beta test I already had the opportunity to create some animations. It is child’s play. There are many ways to control and modify the animations, especially the playback in the frontend. I especially liked the integration of scroll and hover animations that give my website that extra something. For example I created a graphic that builds up piece by piece when you scroll to that spot. That gives my website additional expressiveness.

As part of the beta tester team I was able to extensively test neo Animate in different WordPress environments. neo Animate is not comparable to elaborate animation tools. I tried it with one of my neoDraw drawings: you just have to choose what should be animated when and it immediately looks great! The editor is really brilliant. In the frontend the animation plays smoothly and draws attention. Incredible that something like this works directly in WordPress. Thanks for these new possibilities!

As a beta tester I experienced how reliably the plugin works. Everything runs smoothly! Images are fully duplicated including all resized variants and all metadata, and the database remains absolutely clean and stable. Particularly practical is the bulk option, which lets you copy multiple images at once. A well thought out, secure and efficient plugin that I gladly recommend.

As a professional photographer I use image editing plugins to match the look of my images to the style of the respective site. With neo Duplicate I create copies of my images to quickly try something out without overwriting the original. I also create duplicates when I want to use an image in different galleries or on multiple sites. I use similar file names with specific prefixes to keep track. The plugin is minimalist and adds a handy "Duplicate" button directly in the media library so copies can be created quickly and easily.
