Overview

Challenge

Large and unoptimized images were causing high bandwidth consumption and slow loading speeds, negatively impacting user experience and SEO rankings. Many existing solutions required pre-processing images or using inefficient CDNs that stored multiple copies of the same image in different sizes, increasing storage costs and complexity. Additionally, implementing an efficient, scalable, and real-time image optimization solution without compromising quality was a major challenge.

Solution

storing multiple versions of images. Utilizing imgproxy’s URL-based processing, we dynamically generated optimized images in the required dimensions and formats. Key features like automatic format conversion (e.g., WebP), on-demand resizing, smart cropping, and quality adjustments reduced file sizes by up to 70%, significantly improving page load times. The implementation of imgproxy with caching and a content delivery network (CDN) further enhanced performance, ensuring fast and scalable image delivery.

Key Features Implemented

Provided an innovative approach to handling images dynamically while minimizing infrastructure overhead and enhancing speed.

Real-time Image Resizing & Compression

By leveraging imgproxy’s URL-based transformation, images are resized and compressed dynamically. This reduced image file sizes by an average of 60-70%, improving load times and reducing bandwidth usage.
