Main PDP hero
Keep enough detail for buying confidence without shipping the original studio export.
product page image optimization
Make product pages faster without shrinking the buying experience
Skymage helps ecommerce teams turn one product source image into right-sized PDP heroes, thumbnails, zoom-safe galleries, and mobile variants while keeping the current storefront and media origin intact.
PDP image test:
1. Hero / first gallery image
?w=1200&fit=contain&f=avif&q=85
2. Mobile hero image
?w=720&fit=contain&f=webp&q=82
3. Gallery thumbnail
?w=220&h=220&fit=cover&f=webp&q=78
pdp bottlenecks
The same product image usually has four jobs
Product pages need rich media, but the image delivered to each slot should match the buyer context. The audit starts with the visible image paths that affect first load, gallery interaction, and mobile browsing.
Gallery thumbnails
Crop and cache small thumbnails instead of repeating full gallery images.
Mobile product media
Serve narrower variants for smaller screens while preserving layout dimensions.
Related products
Reuse product-card variants where recommendations and bundles repeat the same images.
first test
Start with one product page before changing the theme
A good PDP test isolates one repeated media pattern, measures transferred bytes and LCP movement, then expands only after the image URL pattern is proven.
