PicPerf for Digital Agencies

Standardize image delivery and full-site performance across client websites. PicPerf provides modern image formats, resizing, caching, and no-code edge HTML optimization for managed platforms and custom builds.

By Alex MacArthur, builder of PicPerf · Published

PicPerf for agencies gives teams two ways to make client websites faster. PicPerf Images handles individual assets with modern format conversion, resizing, and CDN caching. PicPerf Turbulence sits in front of a public site and rewrites HTML at the edge, adding image, font, script, hint, and caching optimizations without requiring a codebase refactor.

What an agency can optimize

  • Oversized JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and other web image assets
  • Responsive image dimensions and modern AVIF/WebP delivery where smaller
  • Render-blocking fonts, analytics, tag managers, and other known-safe scripts
  • Resource hints, same-origin CSS/JavaScript, and transformed HTML caching
  • Sites built with WordPress, Squarespace, Shopify storefronts, static generators, and custom stacks

Agency workflow

  1. Baseline representative pages and record the current lab and business metrics.
  2. Use the free analysis to identify image, font, script, and caching opportunities.
  3. Choose image-only delivery or Turbulence based on the client's constraints.
  4. Roll out one hostname first and test forms, carts, authentication, and integrations.
  5. Document the result, monitoring plan, and DNS rollback path for the client.

Platform notes and sources

Managed platforms have different domain and runtime boundaries. Review PicPerf's pages for WordPress, Shopify, and Squarespace. For performance measurement, consult Google's Core Web Vitals guidance; for DNS operations, use the relevant platform's official documentation and PicPerf's Turbulence setup guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. PicPerf Images can optimize individual assets across client properties, while Turbulence can sit in front of supported public hostnames. Turbulence plans support multiple sites, and each client hostname can be tested and rolled back independently.

  • PicPerf Images requires URL or upload integration for the assets being optimized. PicPerf Turbulence uses DNS and rewrites HTML at the edge, so it can improve a public site without a theme or build-pipeline refactor.

  • Image-heavy ecommerce stores, marketing sites, portfolios, and managed platforms are common fits. Turbulence works with sites that serve HTML over HTTP, but client-specific scripts, authentication, checkout, and caching behavior should be tested before rollout.

  • Run a baseline and compare the same representative URLs after optimization. PageSpeed Insights lab results can show changes in page weight, blocking time, and Performance score; field data and business metrics should be measured separately.

  • The Turbulence Professional and Agency plans include support suited to multi-site use. Start with the free analysis or contact PicPerf before a client rollout to review hostname, origin, caching, and rollback requirements.
