Images

Daisycon offers a lot of images to it’s publishers. For example the product images of all the products of the productfeed from our advertisers, but also all mobile phones, advertiser logos and all airline logos world wide! All these images can be requested in any size and type…

Image optimization

We’re not only making it easy for publishers to serve images in any size and just one type, Daisycon also optimizes the images of the advertisers before serving it to your visitors. We remove all the unnecessary bloat from an image file, such as the image header and meta data. We also apply a compression algorithm to suitable images. We picked the compression algorithm we’re using to minimize any perceptible visual difference first and then attempt to get the most data savings. On average, we’ve seen an average file reduction of 48%!

Of course we’re also worried about things like losing image quality. While I’m sure that there are some people in the world who can spot the difference, for the vast majority of images I have to confess that I couldn’t.

Besides optimizing the images and reducing the file size, we’ve also found a clever way of serving the images. We analyze the type of connection and device the visitor is coming from, which helps optimize the image loading experience based on network and device connection. An image that is 2,000 pixels wide is wasted on an iPhone visitor’s screen that is only 960-by-640-pixels. We automatically downsize the image so that you’re never delivering more pixels than the device in question can display. Also, a visitor on a poor connection will get a smaller version (lower resolution) of the image until the customer is back on a higher bandwith connection (high resolution).
