ImageBoss is an external image optimization and CDN service that processes your images on-the-fly. When activated, this plugin rewrites your image URLs to route them through ImageBoss servers, which then optimize and deliver your images.

= Data Sent to ImageBoss =
When this plugin is active, your image URLs are transformed to be served through ImageBoss. This means:
* Your original image URLs are sent to ImageBoss servers
* ImageBoss fetches, optimizes, and caches your images
* Optimized images are delivered to your visitors via the ImageBoss CDN
