FAQ

What a the api.microlink.io and pro.microlink.io options?

These options make requests to https://microlink.io/ service API. The hosted solution has some benefits like better performance because of cache in their side. You could take a look on their site. And the pro version requires custom API token to be set.

What service to choose?

Except if you not need some super performance and analytics to be made, inhouse extension service (selected by default) is best bang.
