| Cons | Optimisation runs on NitroPack servers, so the site depends on the service; Free plan is limited to one site and monthly page views and CDN bandwidth; Higher limits and most advanced features need a paid subscription | AVIF output and cloud conversion need the PRO licence; Upgrade prompts appear in the admin and plugin list; Cloud conversion sends images to a vendor API |
