'Cloudflare Polish - serve webp/avif images without using /cdn-cgi/image/ URL prefix
Under the documentation for Cloudflare Polish it is mentioned about using the format=auto option. Is there a way to use this option without using the /cdn-cgi/image/ path prefix in my image URLs?
If I do use that path then I see the images served with the content-type: image/webp response header. Without the special URL, I don't see any change to the content-typem (it's just served as jpeg).
The documentation
Solution 1:[1]
It is not necessary to route images via /cdn-cgi/ to make use of Cloudflare Polish. This is applied automatically to images with no change needed to be applied on the URLs.
If you are troubleshooting any issues with this
- clear the cloudflare cache for the image URL(s) in question
- check the
cf-polishedresponse header on the image as this will tell you if optimisation has taken place or if the image was already optimised and thus webp does not give any benefits (in which case you would see thestatus=webp_biggerin the cf-polished header).
