After completing your SpeedSize integration, you may want to verify that it has been properly enabled on your website. Here’s how to confirm everything is working as expected.
1. Open a Page with Images in Chrome
- Use a page on your website containing images (preferably on a staging/testing theme first).
2. Open Developer Tools
- Windows/Linux: Ctrl + Shift + I
- Mac: Cmd + Option + I
3. Check Network Requests
- Go to the Network tab and filter by Img to view image requests.
- Enable Disable Cache to prevent cached files from hiding processing issues.
- Refresh the page and scroll to the bottom to capture all images (including lazy-loaded ones).
4. Verify SpeedSize Domain
- Check the Domain column. If you see the SpeedSize CDN for all your images (sfycdn.speedsize.com or scdn.speedsize.com for Shopify, aicdn.speedsize.com for other sites), the integration is applied correctly.
5. Check Image Processing Status
- Images are processed on-demand when requested by real users. Look at the Cache-Control header for each image:
- max-age=31536000 → processing is complete
- max-age=600 → processing is still in progress (usually a few minutes)
6. Optional Spot Check
- Open a few processed images in a new tab to inspect the results and applied transformations.
- Compare with the original image to see enhancements. To do this, open the same image without the SpeedSize prefix in another tab. Example URLs:
-
SpeedSize-optimized image:
https://sfycdn.speedsize.com/CLIENT_ID/your-website.com/img/sample.jpg?width=630 -
Original URL (no SpeedSize optimization):
https://your-website.com/img/sample.jpg?width=630
-
SpeedSize-optimized image:
7. Verify in the SpeedSize Console (Optional)
- If you already have access to the SpeedSize Console (usually provided after going live), you can check the status of your images in the Asset Manager:
- Optimized → Processing completed successfully
- Processing → File processing is currently in progress
- More details about SpeedSize Console can be found here.
