... use SEO-optimised URLs

Using the traffic servers, URLs can be transformed so that an SEO-friendly article name can be specified instead of the file name.

Here are some examples of what these URLs might look like.

Width & height defined​

SSI-URL: https://myserver.com/fsi/server?type=image&source=products/123/12345.jpg&width=1000&height=1000

SEO-optimised URL: https://myserver.com/v2/1000x1000/products/123/12345/jpg/red-dress.jpg

v2 is the template used. If https://myserver.com/v2/1000x1000/ is specified, both width and height are given.

The normal image path is then: products/123/12345/jpg

If it was saved as a png on the server, the path here would be products/123/12345/png.

Defining width only​

SSI-URL: https://myserver.com/fsi/server?type=image&source=products/123/12345.jpg&width=720

SEO-optimised URL: https://myserver.com/v2/720/products/123/12345/jpg/red-dress.jpg

In the example https://myserver.com/v2/720/ only the value 720 is given, in this case the image will be retrieved with a width of 720 pixels.

If you change the dimensions in the SEO URL, the image is adjusted accordingly.

Defining height only​

SSI-URL: https://myserver.com/fsi/server?type=image&source=products/123/12345.jpg&height=800

SEO-optimised URL: https://myserver.com/v2/x800/products/123/12345/jpg/checkered-dress.jpg

If https://myserver.com/v2/x800/ is specified with x800, only the height will be defined.

If the dimensions entered do not match the aspect ratio of the image (e.g. if a square image is retrieved with the request https://myserver.com/v2/350x500/), the request is based on the specified width, i.e. the image would be output in 350x350.

When the image is saved, the filename is chosen as desired, analogous to the SEO-optimised image name (e.g. red-dress.jpg).
