GEL site - Unwanted image file conversion and compression #783

Closed justinspencer closed 3 months ago

justinspencer commented 4 months ago

Since the launch of the GEL 4 images being served when browsing the GEL site are being converted to .webp and a considerable (and unnecessary) amount of compression is being added. This is adversely affecting the quality of the images.

All images should be served exactly as they are uploaded eg. PNG, JPEG etc. with no automatic compression etc.

I've contacted Cloudinary however @jaortiz has suggested that this could be a config issue at our end and is having a look. I'd like to rule out any issues at our end before I continue the discussion with Cloudinary.

To see this issue:

  1. Open the browser and navigate to the GEL homepage
  2. Download any of the card images.
  3. You will notice that the file extension is .webp this is not correct.
  4. These image are specifically designed and uploaded as PNG's to ensure that they remain high quality on high definition screens etc.

@jaortiz Based on your findings. Please can you update the GEL site to remove the config files that are crushing the images and outputting everything as webp file format.
