SP// Image
Optimization
Optimize end-user experience and site performance. StackPath Image Optimization converts, scales and compresses images to best suit the profile and conditions of a requesting device and its network.
Use Cases
StackPath Image Optimization can improve performance, image quality, and overall costs.
Reduce load time
Images can be the biggest cause of long load times, killing user attention. StackPath gets images to end-users faster, increasing user engagement.
Increase image quality
Different devices will display the same image in different ways. StackPath ensures images will look their best on each requesting device.
Reduce origin costs
Converting and serving multiple versions of images from the origin adds unnecessary costs. StackPath transcodes and caches versions at the edge.
Improve page rankings
Search engines consider load time in site rankings. StackPath can help reduce load time, leading to higher rankings and increased traffic.
How it works
SP// Image Optimization works automatically in the background, for blazing fast image delivery across the global SP// network.
Request
End-user device requests an image. SP// CDN pulls the source image from the origin and sends it to Image Optimization.
Process
The image is immediately converted to the best format, dimensions, and compression level for the requesting device.
Deliver & Cache
The image is delivered to the end-user and cached around the world to serve when future, matching requests are made.
