Achieving 6–8s faster page loads for a multilingual WordPress site (PgO UCAM)

PgO UCAM’s web performance issues stemmed from accumulated malpractices in how images were used on WordPress. They needed to optimize a large library of existing visuals without manual resizing, adopt modern image formats, and automatically create responsive images for every device. As a global, multi‑lingual website serving different nationalities, they also required a CDN to cache assets closer to users and accelerate page delivery. Beyond pure speed, they were looking for a way to fix their image workflow at the source so that pages would remain fast as the site continued to grow.

PgO UCAM evaluated several WordPress options, including EWWW Image Optimizer, before choosing Scaleflex’s Cloudimage for media optimization. The team integrated Cloudimage into their WordPress site within a day, enabling automatic delivery of modern formats and responsive variants via CDN. This approach let them optimize their existing library at scale-without manual rework-while improving how new images would be handled going forward. In total, PgO UCAM successfully optimized 70,000 images across their multilingual website and established a sustainable workflow for fast, consistent page delivery.

With Cloudimage, PgO UCAM optimized 70,000 images and unlocked clear performance gains at scale. They recorded a 6–8‑second reduction in page load time, which helped pages render significantly faster for visitors in every served language.

In parallel, the site’s national ranking improved by 12,098 positions, reflecting the compound benefits of lighter pages, modern formats, and responsive delivery via CDN.
