 * Hi,
    Thank you for such great plugin.
 * I’ve installed and enabled these functions:
    Enable image replacement Scale images&
   Lazy load Enable network based optimizations Serve CSS & JS through Optimole 
   Enable Gif to Video conversion Resize>Enable Retina images Enable generic lazyload
   placeholder Enable lazyload for background images Enable lazyload for embedded
   videos and iframes.
 * All of those above work well.
 * But I’ve installed another plugin “Clearfy – WordPress optimization plugin and
   disable ultimate tweaker”
    There is a function to disable Rest API ,which disables
   Rest API and removes Rest API links. And it warns use this if you don’t need 
   to manage WordPress with third party solutions.
 * So , I’d like confirm if Optimole need Rest API to connect or serve images and
   assets?

 * Hello,
 * We use the Rest API to update the Dashboard stats and sync options.
    You might
   be able to disable them and the serving of images once configured should still
   work, but I you will have to enable the REST API for every change you would want
   to make.
 * I would not recommend this, but if you require this you can try it out.
 * Let me know if this answers your question.
    Thank you!
