Features, Benefits, and How to Enable it!

In today’s digital era, catering to mobile users and accommodating low-bandwidth connections are essential for a seamless browsing experience. However, slow loading times and compromised image quality often pose significant challenges.

According to statistics, the optimal load time is 2 seconds. After 3 seconds, up to 40% of users leave, affecting return visits.

Enter Cloudflare Mirage, the ultimate solution to optimize images for mobile and low-bandwidth connections.

Mirage tackles these issues by replacing high-resolution images with low-resolution placeholders during the initial page load. This smart approach minimizes loading times, ensuring a faster and smoother user experience.
