This enables ShortPixel to serve optimized, next-gen formats like WebP/AVIF where supported. * What data is sent: Only the image URL requested by the visitor’s browser is requested from ShortPixel’s CDN. No additional site data or personal user data is sent by the plugin itself. * Why: Using the CDN can reduce image weight and speed delivery of images. * Links: ShortPixel Privacy Policy: https://shortpixel.com/privacy ShortPixel Terms of Service: https://shortpixel.com/terms-of-service ## Installation 1.
