Q: I know this has been requested before, I don't understand why you haven't provided the whole list instead of ...
listing a few items -- you have a list of banned plugins, please provide it to help me and others decide to buy. I use Elementor Pro -- is that an acceptable plugin? I know you provide your own caching, but plugins like Swift and WPRocket do a lot more than caching -- is it OK to use that type of plugin if there is a way to not use their cache? I have a ShortPixel plan that includes use of their CDN -- I use ShortPixel on a client's website and am happy with it. I know you do your own image optimization -- can I use ShortPixel if I find it works better for me (that is, will using ShortPixel cause problems)?
Your service sounds great for my needs. I've read all the reviews and questions and appreciate the time you've taken to provide so many answers.

Image Optimization Plugins
We dynamically serve device-aware images on the fly saving you bandwidth and increasing the overall performance of your websites. This is how image optimizer in TrulyWP works. We fetch all the images in your site, optimize them and cache them in an edge server network with multiple POPs across the globe.
They are also automatically scaled according to different device sizes. When your visitors access the site, all the images are served directly from the closest POP to your users depending on the device type.
So, it is not recommended that you use any other Image optimization plugins in addition to this.

No answer here, but I asked two questions at trulywp website. Here's the answers (received in about 5 minutes!). Elementor will work. Trulywp image optimization is not a plugin -- it is an integral part of the system. I could try ShortPixel and see what happens. I plan to try some images using just Trulywp and see if I am OK with the quality. And then process the same images with ShortPixel on a WordPress installation at another webhost, add them to my Trulywp website, and see if the images end up with even smaller size and still with good quality.

Thank you. All that seems reasonable.
I'm glad BlogVault is OK because (1) they provide more than 14 days backup, which I believe is TrulWP's limit and (2) I have a lifetime license.
I will not try to use ShortPixel plugin on TrulyWP, but I will -- as I said above -- test to see if there is an advantage to putting the large image through ShortPixel (on one of my accounts on another webhost) before I add it to my TrulyWP website. I hope that TrulyWP by itself is all that's needed, so I don't have to go through ShortPixel. I have a license for ShortPixel, which is part of the reason for testing it.

Updraft Plus Premium does have incremental backup.
