To set up Cloudimage, you can use their official Cloudimage WordPress Plugin or implement it via a custom asset URL token to automate image compression, resizing, and global CDN delivery.
Cloudimage is a cloud-based Image Optimization as a Service (IOaaS). It intercepts your website’s image requests, processes them on-the-fly, and serves them via a fast Content Delivery Network (CDN). Step 1: Create a Cloudimage Account
Register: Go to the official website and sign up for a free account.
Get Your Token: Note your unique Cloudimage Token from your dashboard. This token prefixes all your media URLs. Step 2: Define your Image Origin
Configure Source: In your dashboard admin settings, specify where your original images are stored.
Allowed Origins: Input your website domain (e.g., https://mywebsite.com) or an Amazon S3 / Google Cloud storage bucket.
Firewall Access: Ensure your server allows access to Cloudimage servers so they can grab the original files. Step 3: Implement on Your Website
You can implement Cloudimage using either a plugin approach or a direct URL approach: Option A: The WordPress / CMS Method (Easiest)
Download Plugin: Install the free Cloudimage plugin directly from your WordPress dashboard.
Enter Token: Open the plugin settings and paste your Cloudimage Token.
Save Changes: The plugin automatically rewrites your media URLs to stream through their optimization network. Option B: The Custom URL Method (For Custom Sites)
Change your standard image src paths to use the Cloudimage format:
