Ecency Imagehoster improvements

[ecency]

Short development update on our Ecency Imagehoster instances. Our imagehoster instance got some improvements over last couple months since most of the changes are behind the scenes we didn't publish any update posts. In this post we will briefly talk about some highlights, changes.

Most updates are done when we discover some issues and fix bugs and refresh cache, etc.

We made sure our website: https://ecency.com is the fastest when it comes to proxying and loading images. Speed comes with size of each page as @good-karma mentioned in one of his posts about Why website performance matters. Each page or post body contains at least one image plus author avatar and so optimizing size and quality of that images are important for performance of that page.

• We have optimized caching system quite a bit to see what works better.
• Avatar serving has less redirection and optimized compression
• Seemless support for next generation image formats, webp
• Retry and refetch mechanism to make sure on subsequent refreshes image is stored perfectly and served from cache, if object has changed (ETag changes) then make sure cache updates as well to serve up to date information.
• Many more code optimizations and image upload changes for Hivesigner logins.
• Less broken links for old posts the better it is for website reputation and user experience, 88% of online consumers are less likely to return to a site after a bad experience.

So our work continues to bring better, fast, light and complete user experience.

Stay tuned, stay excited! Don't forget to share the news with your friends.

Cool. The new format - webp renders very smoothly - even for big files (aka stock images) I upload occasionally. 👏😎

[ecency]

Indeed, we managed to get each post page much smaller in size. If your Browser supports webp then images are loading in webp format saving you bandwidth. Try Save Page As on any browser File menu and select Webpage Complete option, this usually downloads html page plus all images on that page and compare the size with other frontends and you will see how much bandwidth you are saving opening same post on Ecency and how small each page is.

Thanks for the info, I'll try. 😎
