 HANDLING SLOW NETWORKS.

Popular Image delivery strategies

Fl_progressive

http://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/w_300,fl_progressive/sample.png


js
cloudinary.image("sample.png", {width: 300, flags: "progressive"})

USING SDK INSTEAD

fl_progressive parameters

  • progressive:semi - A smart optimization of the decoding time, compression level and progressive rendering (less iterations). This is the default mode when using q_auto.
  • progressive:steep - Delivers a preview very quickly, and in a single later phase, improves the image to the required resolution.
  • progressive:none - Use this to deliver a non-progressive image. This is the default mode when setting a specific value for quality.

HOW TO BEST HANDLE VIDEOS 

So many formats 

  • MP4 
  • WEBM
  • MOV

Problems with handling videos

  • Using the wrong video resolution

  • Using the wrong video codec

  • Using too high a video bitrate

  • Not muting autoplaying videos

  • Not using adaptive bitrate streaming

HOW DO WE MAKE SURE WE HAVE GREAT PERFORMANCE VIDEOS

BUFFERING?

Adaptive Bitrate Streaming

Title Text

HTTP Live Streaming and MPEG-DASH adaptive bitrate streaming formats

Cloudinary::Uploader.upload("big_buck_bunny.mp4", :resource_type => :video, 
  :eager => [
     {:streaming_profile => "full_hd", :format => "m3u8"},
     {:streaming_profile => "full_hd", :format => "mpd"}], 
  :eager_async => true,
  :eager_notification_url => "http://mysite/notify_endpoint",
  :public_id => "bb_bunny")

CLOUDINARY TO THE RESCUE.
