Search and category cards
Serve predictable thumbnails for local business, job board, property, and member directory results.
directory image optimization
Speed up directory listings without changing upload flows
Keep business photos, member avatars, company logos, property images, and listing media where they are. Let Skymage request right-sized WebP or AVIF variants for search, category, profile, and detail pages.

directory surfaces
Directory pages repeat the same media in many contexts
A single upload can appear in search cards, category pages, profile pages, recommendation units, maps, and detail galleries. That makes directory media a good candidate for URL-based image variants.
Profiles and logos
Normalize business logos, member avatars, company images, and organization photos.
Detail page galleries
Request larger gallery variants without storing a new derivative for every upload.
first test
Start with one listing template that appears everywhere
Pick a high-volume listing card or profile template, keep the original upload path, then add Skymage width, height, fit, format, and quality parameters.
| Directory slot | Skymage URL parameters |
|---|---|
| Listing card | ?w=420&h=315&fit=cover&f=webp&q=80 |
| Mobile result | ?w=320&h=240&fit=cover&f=webp&q=80 |
| Logo or avatar | ?w=160&h=160&fit=contain&f=webp |
| Gallery image | ?w=1280&fit=inside&f=avif&q=84 |
proof path
A directory image test should answer four questions
Origin fit
Can Skymage transform the public upload URLs your directory already renders?
Template fit
Do card, profile, and gallery variants match the rendered dimensions?
Bandwidth savings
How much transfer size drops with right-sized WebP or AVIF variants?
Rollout safety
Can one helper cover the repeated listing template before broader media changes?
free check
Send one directory page and get the first listing image path to test
The free audit will identify the repeated directory image surface, suggested card and gallery parameters, and whether Skymage fits your current upload origin.
