Image Optimization and WebP

Optimize and deliver high-quality images faster by transforming, resizing, and converting them dynamically at the CDN edge — with full WebP support.

Image Optimization on Medianova dynamically transforms and optimizes images in real time. Using a simple URL-based API, you can resize, crop, rotate, watermark, and apply other visual transformations without manual processing. This on-the-fly optimization ensures that every user receives images tailored to their device, layout, and connection speed — improving both performance and visual quality.

All optimizations are executed at the CDN edge, reducing load on your origin and accelerating delivery globally.

Why Use Image Optimization?

Delivering images efficiently is critical to page speed and user experience. Medianova Image Optimization helps you:

  • Accelerate page load times – Automatically serve optimized images for each device.

  • Reduce bandwidth usage – Deliver lighter, compressed images without sacrificing quality.

  • Simplify content management – Generate multiple image variations from a single source file.

  • Enhance SEO & Core Web Vitals – Improve performance metrics by lowering total page weight.

  • Enable responsive design – Automatically adjust image resolution for mobile, tablet, and desktop screens.

Combine Image Optimization with Caching and Compression for maximum page speed improvement.

Key Features

  • Dynamic Image Transformation – Apply resizing, cropping, rotation, watermarking, and filters directly via URL parameters.

  • Responsive Image Delivery – Automatically serve device-appropriate sizes using client headers and screen dimensions.

  • Integrated Resizing – Adjust image dimensions dynamically to fit layout and viewport requirements.

  • GPU-Accelerated Processing – Intelligent system switches between GPU and CPU processing to minimize latency.

  • Edge-based Rendering – All transformations occur near end users for optimal speed.

  • Seamless Integration – Works natively with Medianova CDN and requires no additional configuration.

WebP Conversion

Medianova CDN is WebP-ready, ensuring modern and efficient image delivery. The system automatically detects browser capabilities and serves the most optimized format available:

Format
Served To
Benefit

WebP

Supported browsers (Chrome, Edge, Opera, Android)

25–35% smaller files than JPEG/PNG

Fallback (JPEG/PNG)

Unsupported browsers (Safari, older versions)

Preserves compatibility

Converted images are cached automatically, reducing transformation overhead on subsequent requests.

Medianova Image Optimization

How It Works

  1. Upload your source images to your CDN Resource or origin server on the Medianova Control Panel.

  2. Call the image via CDN URL with transformation parameters (e.g., /image.jpg?width=600&crop=center).

  3. Medianova processes the image dynamically at the edge.

  4. Optimized versions (including WebP) are cached for instant delivery.

  5. The next request for the same image is served directly from the edge cache — no reprocessing needed.

/cdn.medianova.com/images/product.jpg?width=800&format=webp returns a compressed WebP version of the image resized to 800px width.

Built for Performance

Medianova’s Image Optimization system operates on GPU and CPU clusters colocated with CDN edge servers. An adaptive algorithm automatically chooses the optimal processor (GPU for large, complex images; CPU for smaller ones) to ensure minimal latency. This edge-based, distributed approach allows millions of optimized images to be served instantly, without burdening your origin infrastructure.
