 * This sounds like a straightforward thing, but I have double checked things a 
   number of times now and even
    – though the API is set up on the remote server–
   imagick is active on the remote server – the server with the images is has only
   remote activated and it has a green tick – the API key has been checked to be
   the same on both servers – crypt has been tested enabled and disabled
 * When I use the “test” on the server with the images I get this error message 
   below.
 * Is there anything else I should check to perhaps find out why it isn’t working
   please?
 * >>>>
 * Quality of source could not be established (Imagick or GraphicsMagick is required)–
   Using default instead (75).
 * Trying:wpc
    Failed in 4511 ms Access denied. Invalid api key
 * Conversion failed. None of the tried converters could convert the image
    Test
   conversion failed Problem: Access denied. Invalid api key

 * I have created a temporary service for you to connect to, to see if it works.
   It does not require api key to be crypted.
 * URL: [https://hybridcloudbenefits.com/webp-express-web-service](https://hybridcloudbenefits.com/webp-express-web-service)
   
   api key: hello
 * Also, if you email me the URL and api key for your server, I can try to diagnose
   it. (it@rosell.dk)

 * I tried with the temporary service you set up, but it still didn’t work.
 * The web host might be blocking outbound connections from the server sending the
   requests perhaps?

 * I seem to be having the same issue as well, I entered the URL and API key above,
   but gives me the error access denied, access denied.
