Frequently Asked Questions
What is C3 ImageFlow?
C3 ImageFlow is an automated image optimisation service for websites. It dynamically converts images to modern formats (WebP & AVIF) on request, reducing file sizes and improving page load speeds without requiring manual effort.
Does C3 ImageFlow require me to reupload images?
No, C3 ImageFlow works automatically with your existing media library. It converts images on demand, without requiring you to manually re-upload or process files.
How much can C3 ImageFlow reduce image file sizes?
WebP and AVIF can reduce file sizes by up to 50% compared to JPEG/PNG, resulting in faster page loads, improved SEO, and lower bandwidth usage.
How do I integrate C3 ImageFlow with my website?
Integration is simple and requires no code changes. Once enabled, your website's images are automatically optimised without modifying your existing setup.
Will it affect my existing image URLs?
For most use-cases, no, your original image URLs remain unchanged. C3 ImageFlow automatically detects image requests and serves optimised versions without altering your site’s structure.
What happens if my site requests an image that hasn’t been optimised yet?
If the requested image isn’t available in WebP/AVIF, C3 ImageFlow will:
- Serve the original image immediately.
- Queue the image for processing.
- Serve the optimised version on all future requests.
How does C3 ImageFlow handle caching?
Optimised images are stored in a global Content Delivery Network (CDN), ensuring minimal latency and instant delivery after the first request.
How does C3 ImageFlow work?
When a visitor requests an image, our system checks if an optimised version (WebP or AVIF) is available. If not, the image is automatically converted and served to the visitor via a high-performance Content Delivery Network (CDN) for fast, seamless delivery.
What image formats does C3 ImageFlow support?
The Basic Plan converts images to WebP, and the Pro & Enterprise Plans convert to WebP & AVIF for even better performance.
Will C3 ImageFlow slow down my website?
No. The first request for an image may serve the original file while the optimised version is generated. However, all subsequent requests are delivered instantly via a global CDN, ensuring fast performance.
Do I need to install a plugin or code into my website?
No code is required. C3 ImageFlow works seamlessly with your website at the image delivery level, meaning no changes to your site’s code or image URLs are necessary.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?
Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time based on your needs.
Does C3 ImageFlow work with other CDNs?
Yes, C3 ImageFlow integrates seamlessly with existing CDN setups. So even if you already have a CDN or Web Application Firewall we can usually integrate the ImageFlow optimisation without any fuss. There may be a few rare cases where this will be not possible, however we can discuss the options with you and usually come up with a way forward. If you're not sure if we can support your setup, please get in touch and we can answer all of your questions.
What happens if AVIF is not supported by a visitor’s browser?
C3 ImageFlow automatically detects browser support and serves the best format available:
- AVIF (if supported)
- WebP (fallback for non-AVIF browsers)
- An optimised version of the image in the same original format (if WebP is also unsupported, e.g., in older browsers)
