SpeedSize does not automatically process new images upon upload. Instead, only media files that are actively requested by users are handled by SpeedSize. This selective approach ensures that only the images and videos being accessed are optimized, reducing unnecessary processing and conserving resources.
SpeedSize operates through a URL API-based system, which processes each image or video on demand. When a user requests a media file, SpeedSize fetches and optimizes it, delivering the best possible format and resolution based on the user’s browser, device, and screen size. This method ensures that only active, user-accessed files are optimized, leading to improved performance and reduced consumption, without requiring you to manually process or optimize every media file upon upload.
