That does not require an account.<\/p>\n\n<p>If you open PixCompress \u2192 License, the plugin may request the public plan list from the author website https:\/\/www.itsolutionspot.com\/ . That request sends only a plugin user-agent. No site content or images are uploaded.<\/p>\n\n<p>If you paste a license key and click Activate, the plugin sends that key and your site URL to https:\/\/www.itsolutionspot.com\/ so the author can record the optional commercial license. This is optional and does not enable or disable local optimization.<\/p>\n\n<p>Paid checkout, if you choose it, happens on the author website and may use PayPal.
