How does Image Optimization work?

The optimization process involves three key components:

Original Images Storage
This is where your original, full-size images are stored. Gumlet accesses these images to start the optimization process. We do not modify these images.
Gumlet's Image Optimization Service
1. Image Source & Origin Cache
  Original images are fetched and temporarily cached to speed up access.
2. Global Image Processing Infra and Cache
  Images are resized and compressed. The optimized images are also cached to improve delivery speed for future requests.
3. Cloudfront CDN for Global Delivery
  Optimized images are delivered through Cloudfront CDN, ensuring they reach the user from the nearest location to minimize loading times.
Client (Devices/Browsers/Apps)
1. Various Client Devices

2. Gumlet.js
  This JavaScript tool automates the process by determining the device’s needs and requesting the optimized image from Gumlet’s servers.
