 * Hi all
 * I was just wondering if there was any recommended setting or best practice for
   the plugin?
 * For instance what exactly does the Delete originals option do and is it recommended
   to enable it? What are the possible repercussions?
 * Great plugin by the way.

 * Sorry for the delay, the recommended settings are the defaults. The delete originals
   option ONLY comes into play when using the conversion operations, since they 
   create new files with a new file extension. Optimization happens in-place, so
   there’s no originals to worry about.
 * Even if you ARE using the conversion options, I wouldn’t personally enable Delete
   Originals unless you’re running low on storage resources (or believe that is 
   going to be a concern down the road).
 * Last, but not least, many people like the lossy operations, and they are quite
   good. I don’t run any image-heavy sites, so I generally just stick with lossless
   compression myself.
