AUTOMATING IMAGE COMPRESSION FROM SHOPIFY FILES

AUTOMATING IMAGE COMPRESSION FROM SHOPIFY FILES

In today's digital age, online businesses face the constant challenge of optimizing their websites for improved performance. This case study explores a unique solution we implemented for a client who grappled with sluggish website loading times due to the overwhelming volume of image files in their online store.

What we did:
To tackle this issue, we developed an integration with the online image compression service Tinify. Using the GraphQL API, we retrieved all the images from the online store and sent them to Tinify for compression. After compression, the images were uploaded back to Shopify, replacing the originals. Copies of uncompressed files were stored in an Airtable database.

Result:
As a result, the website now loads faster without compromising image quality, and all image files on the site, not just product photos, are compressed.

Unique in this case

We create a custom app specifically for your online store. Increase site loading speed after image compression.

Alternatives, why was this solution chosen?

Manually download, compress and upload back all the photos that are used on the site.

The Benefits

No need to manually download, compress and upload back all the photos that are used on the site. The site will load faster.

What Was Done?

  • Created a custom app in Shopify to access the GraphQL API
  • Created a script and configured the connection, ran the script and checked the results

Results

The website loads faster without compromising image quality, and all image files on the site, not just product photos, are compressed.
