What happens to my site if Peregrine goes down?
Your originals never left. They are in your media library exactly where WordPress put them,
untouched, and the plugin falls back to serving them. The worst case is the site you had
before us, which is a very different worst case from a service that has taken over your
front end and holds the only copy of anything.
Will it break WooCommerce?
No, and we are careful about the specific way that usually happens. Cart, checkout and
account pages bypass the cache entirely, and we never match on the mere presence of a
cookie — that is the mistake that serves one logged-in customer’s basket to
everybody. Personalised responses are never cached.
I use Elementor / Divi / Bricks. Does it still work?
Yes. Page builders render outside the normal content filters, which is why plugins that hook
the_content quietly miss most of a builder-made page — they report
success and change nothing. We rewrite the finished output instead, so a builder page is
handled the same as any other.
Do you modify or delete my originals?
Never. There is no destructive path in the product. Converted files sit alongside the
originals and the plugin chooses between them at render time.
What if an image is already well optimised?
Then we keep yours. If our output is not actually smaller we say so and serve the original.
An optimiser that ships a bigger file and calls it a saving is worse than doing nothing.
Do I have to move my DNS to you?
Only on Dive, and that is what buys you edge-cached HTML. Glide is one CNAME on a subdomain
and leaves your DNS exactly where it is — you can stay with Cloudflare, your registrar
or your host.
I already have a CDN. Is this redundant?
Usually not. Most site CDNs pass images through unchanged — they move the same bytes
faster. The saving here comes from sending far fewer bytes in the first place. Glide sits
beside an existing CDN happily; Dive replaces it.
What counts as one site?
One domain, whatever its size. A 40-page brochure site and a 12,000-product store are the
same price, because our cost is compute at conversion time, not bandwidth.
Am I tied in?
Annual saves 20% and includes the migration done for you. Glide and Shield are also
available monthly if you would rather not commit. Dive is annual only — delegating
nameservers is a real migration and a one-month experiment does nobody any good.
Where is my data stored?
Converted images sit in EU edge storage, in Germany, and are delivered from the nearest
point of presence to each visitor. Original images stay on your own server throughout.
