The BLOX smart-sizing feature uses on-the-fly image proxy technology to create images that are the right size at the right time.
Custom images now use our smart-sizing technology. Add a logo to your page, a cover for this week's magazine edition, or an image for a promotion. BLOX CMS will automatically, on the fly, generate image sizes specific to the device size and space available. Each smart-sized image is then cached on our robust content discovery network, ensuring that accurate-sized images are served quickly and efficiently.
Before this change, site analysis tools such as Google PageSpeed would sometimes complain about a site logo or another custom image, because the image uploaded was too large. Now, these images will be resized automatically to ensure faster download times.
