Case Study: Selency achieves faster, more reliable media delivery with Scaleflex Cloudimage

Selency boosts cache hit ratio 3x with Scaleflex

Selency, a leading European marketplace for pre-owned furniture and home decor, faced technical and pricing constraints with its former image provider, Imgix. These limitations restricted their ability to efficiently optimize and deliver visuals. The company needed a solution that could connect directly to their Amazon S3 storage to simplify their image warm-up process and provide better cache control to improve page speed. They turned to Scaleflex and its Cloudimage service for a new approach.

Scaleflex implemented Cloudimage with a direct connection to Selency's Amazon S3 bucket and configured a custom CNAME for improved SEO. The solution, which included custom cache rules, was completed in under a week. As a result, Selency achieved a three times higher cache hit ratio, leading to significantly faster and more reliable image delivery, fewer origin requests, and enhanced SEO performance.
