Overall Satisfaction with ImageKit.io

As the Web Developer working with our Marketing department, I make use of ImageKit.io to deliver optimized images from our online store to all devices browsing our site, this includes but is not limited to mobile and desktop. The core business problems we wanted to address are faster image delivery and a simplified solution to optimize our current images for older products as well as new images for future products that have not yet been uploaded. The fewer code changes it would require the better for maintainability as well.
  • Automatically convert images for fast delivery based on browser support and network quality.
  • Well-documented integration documentation that is easy to follow when getting started with your implementation.
  • Easy to navigate user dashboard for setup and management of server origins and account settings. The usage analytics page is also handy to track and fix any 404 errors there might be for an image/s.
  • The Usage Analytics page could be laid out a little better and include filtering options, options may include path, country, IP Address, etc.
  • The ability to add an additional user to the starter plan would be great to illustrate the possibility to new customers.
  • The API Reference guide could include some more section-specific code examples for each of the supported technology stacks.
  • Chained Image Transformations
  • Automatic Conversion of image format
  • Network speed based image optimization
  • Improved Page Load times
  • Increased SEO value of current store pages
  • Conversion Rate increase
The main consideration for our choice was to be able to optimize and deliver the images from the server they are stored on without needing to move or change the current product upload workflow for our Marketing team. This is where ImageKit.io provided the best solution at the time we evaluated the options available in the market.

E-Commerce is a perfect example where a service like ImageKit.io, is well suited. It takes a lot of the guesswork related to browser image format support, correct image dimensions for every kind of device, away from the developer. Thus reducing the need for maintaining code ourselves to check for and deliver an image for every user and his specific browser. This reduces code maintenance time in the long run and less custom code will ensure stability after integration for our online store running on OpenCart 3.
