Everyone knows how annoying it is when pictures on a Website take extremely long to load. In some cases, this might lead to a higher bounce rate as well as fewer conversions. People want crystal clear images with the right resolution for their device the moment they get on to a landing page. Subsequently, Websites should strive to provide this regardless of the type of device their Site is viewed on.
Piio is a platform that is aimed at ensuring Websites no longer struggle with showing quality images. The app offers features such as cross-device experience. With this piio will automatically detect which type of device is visiting a particular Site & its specifications. It will then choose a maximum resolution for an image based on what the device can handle. Consequently, the image on a 4K screen will be of a different caliber than that on a mobile device.
Automatic responsive images is another feature by piio. It uses a site’s HTML code to learn how best to deliver high quality in pictures. The result is thus faster load times. Piio also uses a global content delivery network. Therefore the app can be used on any site in the world whether based in Africa, Europe or the Americas.
There are two pricing plans for using the platform. One is free while the other comes a cost. Integration with a Site is quite easy. One only needs to register then they will be allowed to copy the code & paste it into their Site’s HTML. Once this is done, the user will have to replace their image tags with data-piio.
With the images taken care of visitors are more likely to be satisfied with what a Website is offering, hence the percentage of conversions will be significantly higher. As a bonus, piio also gives an image speed check. Users only need to put in the URL to their Website then click on the “test now” button. They can then learn how the images on their Site affect page speeds.
