Currently there are five established levels, and each level has an assigned number of image optimization credits (see below). Credits represent the maximum number of images you may currently submit for optimization. Credits regenerate at the completion of an optimization cycle. | + | Each site is assigned a level.

Only one group of images is sent this first time. We want to make sure everything is working well between your server and ours, and so we start small. You don't need to wait on this page. You can go away and do something else if you like. |

| - | All of this happens behind the scenes after you've pressed the **Send Optimization Request** button. You can refresh the page to update these numbers, and you can leave the page while optimization is running, if you've got other things to do. | + | When images are ready to pull, you can wait for the cron to do it automatically, or, if you have disabled the pull cron job (or your cron in general), you can press the **Pull Images** button to initiate the process manually.
