596	== Frequently Asked Questions ==
597
598	= How many images I can optimize with each plan? =
599
600	The number of images that you can optimize or store is unlimited, we care only about the number of visits you have per month.
601
602	= What happens if I exceed plan limits? =

609
610	= I'm already using a CDN, can I use that instead of yours ? =
611
612	Short answer, YES. You will only need to whitelist the domain of your existing CDN for Optimole to pick images stored there.
613
614	= I'm already using an image optimization plugin, why should I switch to Optimole? =
615
616	You don’t need to change your existing optimization plugin, image optimization is just a small part of what we do, if you are happy with ShortPixel for e.g, feel free to continue to use it, Optimole would then take care only of serving your image at the RIGHT size, advanced cropping and smart lazy-loading.
617
618	= Does Optimole handle images from Ajax content ? =
619
620	Yes, we do. By default, Optimole handle images delivered from your ajax content from admin-ajax.php ( not logged in users ) as well as WordPress REST API routes.
621
622	= Can I remove the blurry placeholder from the lazyload effect ? =
623
624	Yes, you can. You only need to toggle this feature in the plugin as explained per this doc - https://docs.optimole.com/article/1020-can-i-remove-the-blurry-placeholder-from-the-lazyload-effct
625
626	= Will the original images be deleted? =
627
628	We use your original images as sources when deliver the optimized images. Unless you want to remove images from your server to save some space with Cloud Library by offloading images to the cloud as explained here - https://docs.optimole.com/article/1323-cloud-library-browsing
629
630	= What is the difference between the Auto, High, Medium, Low compression levels? =
631
632	A higher compression might result in a small loss of image quality. Selecting the auto level will let Optimole choose the minimum size with no loss in the quality of your picture.
633
634	= I used Kraken, Shortpixel, Optimus, EWWW or WP Smush, Imagify will Optimole further optimize my images? =
635
636	Yes, Optimole will also take care of serving your image at the RIGHT size for your visitors and optimize them to the best possible format for their browser.
637
638	= Which formats can be optimized ? =
639
640	For now we support jpg, png and svg format.
641
642	= Does Optimole automatically serve WebP for Chrome users ? =
643
644	Yes. We automatically detect user browser and serve WebP if is supported, otherwise we optimize the image in the original format.
645
646	= Can I disable lazyload for PNG images ? =
647
648	Yes. You need to add `define("OPTML_DISABLE_PNG_LAZYLOAD",true);` to `your wp-config.php` file.
649
650	You can also use plugin's UI and exclude images by their type as explained here - https://docs.optimole.com/article/1191-exclude-from-optimizing-or-lazy-loading
651
652	= Can I disable optimization for a certain image ? =
653
654	Yes, you can exclude certain image by its name as explained here - https://docs.optimole.com/article/1191-exclude-from-optimizing-or-lazy-loading
655
656	In case you're tech-savvy and want programatically exclude images by some conditions you can follow this code snippet and replace the sample image with the one you need or have other conditions:
657
658	<code>
659	add_filter('optml_dont_replace_url', function( $old, $url ) {
660	if ( $url === 'https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/1.jpg' ) {
661	return true;
662	}
663	return $old;
