Title: 4 ways to reduce costs and improve ROI with image optimization and Strapi

Outline

1. Increase revenue

   • For every 100ms improvement in page speed there is a 1% incremental revenue increase.
   • Images account for an average of 75% of total page weight
   • The best image processing tools can intelligently compress images,and take advantage of modern formats like AVIF where possible
   • Image optimization can also improve SEO by reducing the time it takes for a page to load.

2. Decrease bandwidth costs

   • Reduce monthly bandwidth costs by up to 90% with fast content delivery and robust visual media optimization.

3. Reduce storage costs

   • If you use a backend processing solution, storage costs can multiply
   • An on-the-fly solution has the advantage of transforming images without creating derivative copies.

4. Save time

   • With a proven solution that’s out-of-the-box, engineers can avoid the hassle of building, troubleshooting, and cobbling together custom packages
   • Automatically take advantage of the latest image optimization technology
   • Modify images programmatically at scale such as centering on products or faces; remove/replace backgrounds, drop in copy/logos/watermarking
   • Strapi + imgix plug-in makes it easier than ever

Please advise any edits, additions, or if you would like me to load this content onto another platform for review/publishing. Otherwise kindly advise when this might be published

• separately I noticed our link ("A Strapi Plugin to integrate imgix with your Strapi Media Library.") on our plug-in page immediately below our logo on top is broken.. Could someone please update that link to https://imgix.link/3VVlt08 (which leads to www.imgix.com)

Thank you!!

@natesmyers thanks for the blog post, I want to create a video that covers the steps of guiding the user on how to setup imgix with Strpai, as well as, give them the opportunity to see the plugin in action.

Once I finish the video, I will post both on our website, youtube channel and social.
