Image Optimization

In my optimization tips, I read this:

"Accessing original images without any transformation is responsible for 33% of your bandwidth usage. If possible, specify image dimensions to match the actual view size.

Streaming unoptimized videos is responsible for 57% of your bandwidth usage. If possible, use q_auto to optimize them for web or use smaller dimensions."

 

In the cloudinary documentation, I read this:

 

"Cloudinary automatically delivers images, videos, and other rich media in the format and quality suited for the end users' devices."

 

I am trying to reconcile.   If cloudinary is supposed to optimize automatically, what do I need to do to utilize this?

  Hi Daniel,

  You are right, Cloudinary does optimize the images but there are a few things you need to change in order to do so.

  You can use Cloudinary to optimize your media assets and save bandwidth. Here's a quick video that will get you started -
