Welcome! Thank you for your interest in REST Pro Tools. This post rounds up any frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the plugin.
Will this plugin slow down my site?
REST Pro Tools is designed to be super lightweight and fast, so it won’t slow down your site. It’s built with WordPress APIs and best practices for optimal functionality, performance, and security.
What is the difference between free version and pro?
The free version of the plugin simply disables the REST API for all unauthenticated users. The pro version can do that plus much, much more. For more comparison, check out the free-vs-pro table on the REST Pro Tools homepage.
How does it improve security? How does it improve performance?
REST Pro Tools is not a “security” or “performance” plugin per se, however it is developed by Jeff Starr, a 15-year WordPress expert who specializes in security and performance. Ask anyone who knows, plugins by Jeff Starr are focused on security, performance, and functional perfection.
Is REST Pro Tools Multisite compatible?
Due to licensing restrictions, REST Pro Tools works on an individual, per-site basis. That means the plugin can be activated on any given site on a Multisite network, but network-wide activation is not supported at this time.
Where can I find information about GDPR support?
We provide GDPR information for all of our pro plugins on our GDPR Support page.
What is the meaning of the different license names?
We offer plugin licenses with names like “Personal”, “Business”, “Advanced”, and “Developer”. These names are arbitrary and have nothing to do with the type of website that the license may be used on. For example, the Personal (1-site) license can be activated on any site, whether personal, business, or otherwise. Likewise, the Business (3-site) license can be activated on any site, whether personal, business, etc. So they’re just names for the licenses, not any sort of limitation.
