Image Optimisation

Image Optimisation on the Request Path

Turn oversized product and content images into cached AVIF and WebP responsive variants with stable dimensions. Route through Peakhour Edge, or alongside an existing CDN or edge provider, so format negotiation, cache policy, and origin relief stay in one operating model.

Improve Website Experience Globally

Deliver Lighter Product Imagery

Keep original publishing workflows while serving browser-appropriate AVIF or WebP variants at responsive widths. Lower transfer size helps shoppers reach product content faster without a separate image-preparation workflow.

Keep Visual Quality Intact

Transformation settings balance compression and fidelity so product imagery remains clear while payload weight drops across desktop and mobile delivery.

Scale Image Delivery Under Load

Cache optimised variants close to users so repeat requests avoid repeated origin processing. The same controls apply whether image traffic arrives through Peakhour Edge or an existing delivery path.

Measured optimisation evidence

From Original Request to Smaller Delivered Response

The request path stays observable end to end: source images arrive as published, transformation selects the right output variant, and dashboard metrics confirm delivered savings and origin relief in production traffic.

Original request

Large source images stay in your workflow

315 MB original size

Teams can keep publishing source images from the CMS or application. Peakhour measures the original image weight before transformation so performance work starts from the real request, without a separate origin rewrite or image build pipeline.

Peakhour path

Transform once, cache the useful variants

13,108 transforms

Peakhour negotiates AVIF or WebP support, creates responsive variants for the requesting device, and stores repeatable outputs so later image requests avoid unnecessary origin work. Operators manage that behaviour in one Peakhour path, even when an existing CDN remains in front.

Optimised response

Savings are tracked beside delivery metrics

59.1% size savings

The dashboard evidence records 129 MB of transformed image delivery from 315 MB of originals, supporting LCP, cache-hit delivery, and origin-relief claims with HTML metrics and the measured screenshot.

Responsive Variants Without Rebuilding Origins or Delivery Stacks

Peakhour generates desktop, tablet, and mobile derivatives from one source image and serves them through the same delivery path. Format negotiation, responsive widths, explicit dimension reservation, and cache controls sit in one policy layer, so teams can add image transformation without replacing the CMS, changing origin publishing, or splitting controls across multiple providers.
