Is PageOptimus - website speed optimizer safe?
PageOptimus sends user-triggered page URLs and resource metrics to PageOptimus and Google PageSpeed endpoints.

For structure and heatmap analyses, it sends the page URL plus resource counts, sizes, scores, or per-image heatmap data to PageOptimus endpoints when an account token is used.
