Chullanka loaded its Magento shop 6.7% faster, about 0.50 seconds, after adding Cloudimage, and saw clicks rise within a month. The French outdoor retailer, founded in 2007, had been resizing product images by hand and was limited to four preset Magento formats. A guided integration with a custom CNAME automated resizing while preserving existing image URLs and rankings, and First Contentful Paint dropped. The team now runs consistent, responsive imagery with simpler day-to-day image operations.

The Challenge

Manual image resizing and four preset Magento formats held the shop back

Managing product images created operational complexity for a team that wasn’t originally digital‑native. Merchandising collected visuals from multiple providers, then the technical team manually resized files for thumbnails, product images, and responsive variants. Magento only offered four preset formats, limiting flexibility. To improve SEO and storefront performance, the team planned two projects: migrating the media server to the cloud and optimizing on‑site images.

Chullanka implemented Cloudimage to automate image optimization across the Magento store. The integration was completed quickly with a simple guided setup, and a custom CNAME ensured a transparent rollout that preserved existing image URLs and rankings. With on‑the‑fly resizing and delivery handled by the service, the team removed manual steps and unlocked consistent, responsive imagery at scale.

The Results

6.7% faster loading, about 0.50 seconds, and more clicks within a month

After deploying Cloudimage, Google Analytics reported a 6.7% improvement in loading time-equating to 0.50 seconds faster on average. First Contentful Paint (FCP) decreased, and the store saw an increase in clicks in under a month. Together, these gains reinforced the team’s SEO objectives while simplifying day‑to‑day image operations.
