Website Planet’s Image Compressor tool offers a user-friendly interface that simplifies the image compression process. It allows you to compress PNG and JPG files effortlessly while maintaining the quality of your images.

Improve your headlines quickly and easily with this week’s cool tool recommendation – Headline Studio.
David Ogilvy, the original Mad Man of advertising, once famously said, “On the average, five times as many people read the headline as read the body copy. When you have written your headline, you have spent eighty cents out of your dollar.”
Ogilvy’s remark reminds us never to underestimate the power of the humble headline. Even in this digital age, headlines count.
A good headline can grab the attention of the reader and make them want to read more. A bad headline, on the other hand, can turn people away and cause them to lose interest in your content. This is especially true in the online world, where people have short attention spans and are bombarded with a constant stream of information.
Headlines also serve an important SEO (search engine optimization) purpose. Search engines use the headline to understand what your content is about, and a good headline can help your content rank higher in search results.
Headline Studio will rate your headlines allowing you to identify any weaknesses and address them. Additionally, it contains word banks that can assist you in overcoming writing blocks and creating more compelling headlines.
How it works
Just click the Headline Studio button on any website where you want to analyze a headline, such as your WordPress blog post. Headline Studio will open directly in your browser, allowing you to write and analyze headlines simultaneously.

This week I’m recommending Fotor, a free image editing tool and design maker for PC and mobile.
You can use it to create a variety of images, including photo collages for social media, making as many edits as you need from an extensive menu of edits. Fotor even provides an area where you can experiment to the side of your canvas. It includes ready-to-go graphics, icons, and studio-quality video templates. One of my favorite Fotor features is the LinkedIn banner design and the logo maker.
A paid version is available that contains more features and is ad-free.
This week I’m recommending UberSuggest – a free keyword research tool that lets you see which keywords are performing best for your competitors/peers.
This truly is a super helpful tool when it comes to Search Engine Optimisation. It generates a list of keywords for you based on what is working for your competitors and based on what people are typing into Google, allowing you to see volume, competition, and even seasonal trends for each of your chosen keywords.
Let’s see it in action.
Type in your chosen keyword (or a domain of a competitor) to see which keywords are ranking for them). In this example, I’ll use the keyword ‘social media’.
The first thing I get is an overview of keyword search volume (the number of searches this keyword has per month) SEO difficulty (estimated competition in organic search – the higher the number the more competitive) paid difficulty (estimated competition in organic search – the higher the number the more competitive) and cost per click (if you are using paid Google ads).
Keyword Ideas
Now I can start to drill down into keyword ideas based on my head keyword.
As you can see from the screenshot above, you can do a lot more, such as identify how popular the keyword is based on its search volume over the last 12 months.
Content Ideas
Now let’s look at what we can do with these keywords. Ubersuggest shows you the highest performing content for your chosen keywords.
Backlink Data
Backlinks are one of the most important components of Google’s ranking algorithm. However, there is a problem. They are difficult to build. Ubersuggest lets you see exactly what content people are linking to in your space. You then approach each of these sites and ask them to link to you.
Pricing
You get three free daily searches with the free version. Before you decide to upgrade, you can try out a paid version for free for 7 days.
