Case Study: Play Sports Network achieves faster performance and saves time with imgix

Play Sports Network uses imgix to serve 157 million image requests per month, improve web performance, and save time

Play Sports Network, the world’s leading cycling community, needed a way to manage huge volumes of images across websites, e-commerce, and mobile apps while keeping performance high. Their existing backend image processing was slow and difficult to standardize across different tech stacks and user-generated content, and they needed a flexible solution with global CDN support. They turned to imgix to help serve image assets efficiently at scale.

Using imgix’s global CDN and Rendering API, Play Sports Network integrated image optimization into its web, iOS, Android, and e-commerce environments with ease. The result was responsive design at scale, better e-commerce performance, and significant time savings for engineering and design teams, while handling 157 million image requests per month and 900,000 image renders with reduced storage and maintenance burden.
