I noticed that the following file from a website could compress the image depending on the size passed as parameters in the url.
This is the following url.
https://images.pexels.com/photos/207301/pexels-photo-207301.jpeg
and when passed as a parameter :
https://images.pexels.com/photos/207301/pexels-photo-207301.jpeg?w=440&auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb
it gives a smaller image.
Now what I did:
I downloaded the image uploaded it to my website: http://auraquotes.com/images/pexels-photo-207301.jpeg
I also tried passing the parameters: http://auraquotes.com/images/pexels-photo-207301.jpeg?w=440&auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb
but nothing happened.
I wonder the reason?
That website is running a solution called imgix which handles the image request and the compression. Without imgix installed, you won't get the same effect.
