    Hi Binarymoon,

    You say several times in the forum that the plugins relies on an external service to make the screenshots, but which service/site is that ?

    Also, once generated for a given external URL, is the image copied locally and use from my site ? or reloaded everytime from the ext service/server ?

    Thanks,
    F

    Hi there

    The plugin uses the ‘mshots’ functionality, from WordPress.com, to automatically take screenshots of websites. This function is free for non-commercial use.

    The images are stored on the wordpress.com servers and are not saved onto your own website. The images are cached for roughly 24 hours before being generated again.

    Thanks – Ben
