Key allows JPEG/WebP image requests based on clients ‘accept’ http headers - imgix required a ?auto=format query string on each image resource request - which can break some caches. Key allow for a custom CNAME (no more advertising in domain requests and possible SEO improvements - and easier to swap to another host down the track). There’s a few things that we like about “Key” apart from saving $6 a month on the monthly minimum spend ($4 vs $10 for imgix). So we’ve moved Washington Brown from imgix for hosting theme images, to Ke圜DN for hosting all images and static assets (Font, CSS & JS). The results for the endpoints were superfast - almost 200% faster than CloudFlare in some tests and 370% faster than imgix. Platform Update: we’ve been using the Performance Test tool provided by Ke圜DN for a long time in combination with Pingdom's similar tool and the #WebpageTest and #GoogleInsight - we decided to test out Ke圜DN for static asset hosting.
