External services

This plugin connects to the ImgSmaller API to compress images and retrieve plan/quota information.

What is the service and what is it used for?
– The ImgSmaller API (https://imgsmaller.com) provides image compression and account information used by this plugin to optimize your Media Library and display plan/quota details.

What data is sent and when?
– When you start compression, the plugin sends the public URL of each selected attachment (or a secure, tokenized proxy URL if the file is not publicly accessible) along with your API key to request compression. After polling completes, the plugin downloads the optimized image bytes.
– When viewing plan info, the plugin requests your current plan usage and limits using your API key.

Notes:
– You can disable background processing at any time from the dashboard. If you prefer not to send any files or metadata, do not start compression and do not enter an API key.
