ScientiaMobile Launches ImageEngine to Automatically Resize Web Images For Any Mobile Device Resulting in Better Experience and Improved Performance
Cloud-based ImageEngine service leverages WURFL device detection by tailoring images to specific mobile devices, reducing payload, providing Enterprise-grade scalability and performance for rapidly growing Responsive Web Design market
RESTON,Va., Oct. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- At O'Reilly's Velocity NYC conference, ScientiaMobile has launched ImageEngine, a cloud-based image resizing service, to address the complexity of serving images to thousands of different types of mobile devices while simultaneously improving performance. ImageEngine combines image resizing, cropping, and compression with ScientiaMobile's WURFL mobile device intelligence to deliver optimized images with CDN-type caching and speed. ScientiaMobile's solution provides a dramatically simpler and more powerful tool for Web designers who are quickly adopting Responsive Web Design.
Mobile Web performance is very dependent on the size of the initial payload size, and images can make up over 60% of this payload. Today, there are many techniques and services to reduce the size of images. However, none of them take into account the exact dimensions and capabilities of specific mobile devices to tailor an image that is smaller and cropped appropriately for a mobile device.
ScientiaMobile's ImageEngine is easy to use, with a single line of code that refers to the full-size image and quickly delivers a resized image. It also provides reporting on the performance savings, which frequently results in over a 40% reduction of payload size.
"Over 74% of the top 10,000 mobile-friendly web sites use Responsive Web Design (RWD). However, RWD's techniques for managing image size and proportion are labor intensive and frequently inaccurate. ImageEngine delivers an Enterprise-quality cloud-based product that is significantly different and better than image resizing services out there today. ScientiaMobile's platform is already serving several billion image requests per month, demonstrating its scalability. ImageEngine has major benefits for the millions of web sites that are currently adopting responsive images," says ScientiaMobile CEO Krishna Guda.
ScientiaMobile provides the industry's most accurate and flexible device intelligence solution. We help customers optimize their mobile web experience, adapt images for mobile devices, deliver device-aware advertising, and collect device analytics. ScientiaMobile sells WURFL, a constantly-updated repository that catalogues thousands of devices and their capabilities and provides access to them via range of API languages. The WURFL framework enables many organizations, including Fortune 500 companies, to effectively design and analyze web experiences for an ever-growing range of smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and game consoles.
