KSmarterImage
• Key Features •
On-demand generation: SmartImage only processes images when the browser requests a specific format, not all variations at once
Optimized for tags: Perfect for responsive images with multiple formats, resolutions, and DPI variations
Massive performance gains: In large photo galleries where each image might have 3-4 different sizes, only requested variations are generated
Persistent SEO-friendly URLs: Generates stable, MD5-based URLs that remain consistent across cache clears
Custom filenames: Supports SEO-optimized filenames via the ksi_filename parameter
Database-backed: Stores image configurations for efficient URL resolution
Clean routing: Customizable URL prefix (default: /ksi/)
Simple Smarty integration: Easy-to-use {KSI} tag for frontend implementation
• Performance Benefits •
When cache is cleared, instead of regenerating dozens or hundreds of image variations immediately, KSmarterImage only processes what visitors actually need. This drastically reduces server load and page generation time.
Requirements:
CMS Made Simple 2.2+
SmartImage module 1.1.0+
• Use Case •
Essential for websites with large photo galleries, responsive designs using elements, or any scenario where multiple image variations are defined but not all are immediately needed.
