About this plugin
This WordPress plugin provides integration with our SaaS Image Service
By leveraging the Power of Client Hints.
We’ve chosen to integrate to WordPress via a Service Worker in order to provide best possible compatibility against
g. W3TC, WPSuper Cache, Elementor…) as well as images coming from your CSS files.
This way you won’t have to rewrite your URLS and lose your images SEO juice.
Nor you will get overcharged in case of a BOT crawl your website.
WHAT DOES THIS PLUGIN DO?
This plugin registers a Service Worker, providing Progressive Web App functionalities to your
website in order to intercept your Images in order to automatically detect the best possible Image required by your end user.

FULLY WHITE-LABEL
One of the reasons we decided to go with this approach is no other than SEO.
Using Client Hints Combined with Service Worker will get you all the performance benefits
for your end users without the SEO disadvantages that comes with the URL Rewrite.
WHY ITS IMPORTANT NOT TO CHANGE IMAGE URLS
In case you rewrite your image urls into something else all
SEO juice from all image urls goes to the Vendor domain
even if the urls contain a canonical name, they are still searchable using the vendor url.
PREREQUISITES
- Your website runs https only

that registers a service worker on your website or use our Custom Integration Guide and lose the white label feature.
