Excellent breakdown of modern image optimization strategies — especially for teams dealing with high volumes of user-generated media.
The author walks through all the classic dead-ends… and ends up with a client-intelligent, cache-first architecture where imgproxy plays a key role.
Rethinking How We Optimize Images for Small and Mid-Sized Websites
Let’s walk through the evolution of image optimization strategies using a common scenario: turning large, user-submitted images into lightweight thumbnails for fast, responsive websites.

Need to feed your image to a system that only accepts PDFs?
imgproxy Pro can cover you back here! Just set the output format to `pdf` and imgproxy will create a PDF file with your image embedded in it.

New in imgproxy Pro: `crop_aspect_ratio`
You’ve got saved crop coordinates, but need them in different aspect ratios for different layouts? Now you can tweak the ratio on the fly—no recalculations, no new data.

We also added the `source_image_url` attribute to the `downloading_image` tracing spans and `processing_options` to the `processing_image` spans. Both attributes were previously available only in root spans.

We added the `source_image_origin` attribute to the root and `downloading_image` tracing spans for easier tracking of problematic image sources.

Better observability in imgproxy 🔭
We already play nicely with major monitoring and error trackers out of the box. The latest release makes signals richer and incidents faster to untangle.

Reality check
These features are defense-in-depth, not a free pass. If you can sign URLs—do it. If you can’t, these rails keep the train on the tracks.

Recommended baseline (when running unsigned)
Choose limits that match your app: restrict allowed image sources, set a ceiling on result dimensions, allow only the URL options you rely on, and restrict pipeline chaining. Small surface, big safety.

Break the chain
Limit how many pipelines a single URL can stack. This shuts down “matryoshka” chains that waste CPU and invite abuse.

Presets still win
You can still use “forbidden” options inside presets. Expose a small, safe public API; keep complex pipelines behind the curtain.

Allow only what you trust
Whitelist which processing and info options are valid in the URL. Anything else is rejected. Keep the public surface tiny; keep power server-side.

Cap the size
Set a hard ceiling for the resulting image’s largest side. Anything bigger is automatically downscaled. No surprise mega-bitmaps.

New security measures in imgproxy 🔐
Signed URLs remain best practice. But if you can’t use them (hello, frontend-only flows), we’ve added guardrails so your instance stays tight. Jump into the thread.
