Understanding the URL Structure (API URLs)

Understanding the URL Structure (API URLs)

The initial part of the URL is your zone, it can either be yoursite123abc.zapwp.com or you can use a custom CNAME to make it something like cdn.yoursite.com

q: is quality, the value can be l for lossless, i for intelligent and u for ultra compression mode r: is for retina, 1 is ON and 0 is OFF | retina on will 2x the pixel density of the image wp: is for webp conversion, 1 is ON and 0 is OFF w: is for width, this is a value in pixels that the image is resized to u: is the original image url that you'd like to optimize and adapt

https://yoursite123abc.zapwp.com/q:i/r:1/wp:1/w:250/u:https://yoursite.com/logo.png https://cdn.yoursite.com/q:i/r:1/wp:1/w:250/u:https://yoursite.com.com/logo.png

|| In the above examples, it would optimize a logo from your site at an "intelligent" quality, with retina enabled, webp conversion active and an initial width of 250px (then doubled for retina)

| When using the plugin or universal version, these values are automatically adapted based on the incoming visitor to make sure they are getting the optimal image, but you may manipulate them as you wish to use the URL API version of the software with your zone.

As for CSS, JavaScript and other assets, you can use a similar structure for non-images, for

How Flexible Optimization is Calculated

Flexible Optimization gives you the freedom to use credits across various types of optimizations based on your unique needs. Here’s how it works:

Fully Flexible, Stackable, and Customizable:

-  Flexible Optimization credits can be allocated as you see fit, stacking them to optimize different elements like images, scripts, fonts, and more. This allows you to tailor your usage to specific needs on a per-website basis.

- Credits can be allocated across **real-time optimization + CDN** or **traditional compression**, allowing you to achieve exactly the kind of optimization your site requires.

Question 4

Setting Up a Custom CDN Domain

Accepted Answer

Using a Custom CDN Domain

In live optimization mode, your images and assets will load from *.zapwp.com - which is technically unbranded; however we strongly recommend using your own website's domain for serving images and scripts.

The most common domain we see is cdn.yoursite.com - and it can be set up simply within the plugin under CDN Delivery and scrolling to Custom CDN Domain

There you can use any domain you own to serve the optimized images and assets by simply creating a subdomain on the domain you wish to use in your DNS or hosting panel, then adding a new CNAME record pointing to the url specified in the plugin.

After the DNS has propogated (can take up to 48 hours globally) you may enter the full domain into the field and hit save - you may then turn on the feature as desired.

||| Be sure to test loading your site to confirm the domain has properly propogated and is linked.

Troubleshooting

If images are not properly loading, be sure to check if the DNS has fullly propogated ([we typi

Question 5

Using WP Compress with Caching Plugins

Accepted Answer

Using WP Compress with Caching Plugins

You should be fine to use both local and live mode for WP Compress with caching plugins! 🎉

We simply recommend not doubling up on settings (lazy loading, css / js minify etc.) but fortunately you can toggle on/off any settings in our portal as needed!

Make sure we're bypassing any firewalls or security plugins so that we can download the images, but other than that you should be all set right out of the box!

Question 6

What are Overflow Credits?

Accepted Answer

What are Overflow Credits?

Overflow credits (or one-time credit packs) allow you to optimize outside of your existing monthly quota on a site by site basis!

|| Overflow Credits are extremely useful to handle unforeseen spikes in demand for any given month.

In the example above, we've set a 100,000 credit monthly quota for this website; however, with a 1,000,000 overflow allocation that means if an irregular spike in traffic was to happen (say triple the visitors in April) the remaining 200,000 credits would be pulled from the overflow margin and you'd have 800,000 overflow credits remaining that never expire!

Essentially overflow credits are a buffer zone incase your site goes over in a specific month or can be used without a quota as a one-time bump!

Overflow Credits are Great For

Optimizing Local Images Initially
Handling Spikes in Traffic
Determining an Long-Term Monthly Quota
One-Time Credits for Clients

You may add one-time credits when setting up the initial quota, or by modifying a quota after the site is linked.

Overflow Credits, or Credit Packs are not used until after you run out credits for either a monthly quota or your main account for a shared quota.

| In short, the credits are there when you need them and never expire!

You may [purchase additional overflow credits](http
