This plugin optionally rewrites image URLs to ShortPixel’s CDN to serve optimized images:
- Service: ShortPixel CDN (https://cdn.shortpixel.ai/)
- What it does: When “Image Optimization” is enabled in plugin settings, image URLs on your site (for example, https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/image.jpg) are rewritten so that visitors’ browsers request images from ShortPixel’s CDN (for example, https://cdn.shortpixel.ai/spai/…/https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/image.jpg). 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.
