Key Features of Flexible Optimization:

Enjoy the freedom to mix and match traditional compression and real-time optimization to slash file sizes, accelerate images, scripts, fonts, and more! 🙌

- Real-Time Optimization + CDN
- Traditional Media Compression
- Adaptive Images by Device
- Next-Gen WebP Images
- Accelerating Scripts and Fonts
- Plus, So Much More...

No matter what you decide, you're in complete control of usage on a per-website basis and can allocate credits or set custom website quotas as desired! 🚀

You can assign one-time credits for overflow usage that only gets used if you go over an allocated quota!

We'll give you notifications if you're running low and projections of how many credits are needed for a specific site in the management portal!

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.

Optimized Data with Real-Time Optimization + CDN:

- When using Real-Time Optimization + CDN, your data is highly optimized before delivery. This often results in up to 70% less data usage compared to non-optimized data.

- This means your credits stretch much further, as each request or load utilizes significantly less data. For example, an image that would normally use 10MB may only use 3MB when optimized in real-time with CDN.

- The result? Efficient data usage with faster load times, and more flexibility in how you use your credits.

Traditional Compression:

- With Traditional Media Compression, your credits cover the actual data used without real-time reduction.

- This is a straightforward compression method, where credits are used based on the raw, unoptimized data size, making it ideal for cases where you want a simple, reliable reduction in file size without dynamic adjustments.

Legacy Plans:

Based on your plan, Optimization Credits are allocated to your main account, credits can be used for both real-time optimization and local image compression as follows:

1 Credit | Live Optimization Request
10 Credits | Locally Compressed Image/Variation

Restoring images is always free!



Real-Time Optimization Request, 1 optimization credit includes everything needed for the compression, optimization, generation of WebP, and delivery of an image from our lightning-fast global CDN for an active visitor on your website – typically in under 50ms per image! There is currently no hard cap on bandwidth, but it is subject to fair use.​

The beauty of this is that credits are only used for optimized traffic that hits our API, if a user visits multiple pages there’s a good chance certain assets are browser cached!

The same system applies for accelerating other assets served via live optimization such as CSS, JavaScript and SVG files.

Optimizing a Local Image uses 10 credits per image or variation. You have the option to either back up your images locally (free) or in our cloud with up to 1 GB of cloud storage included free per website!
