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
Choose the right PicPerf product
| Need | Best fit | How it works |

| Improve an entire public HTML site | PicPerf Turbulence | Point DNS at PicPerf; the edge rewrites and caches HTML without code changes. |
| Audit before recommending a change | Free analysis | Compare a public URL before and after simulated Turbulence optimizations. |
Agency workflow
- Baseline representative pages and record the current lab and business metrics.
- Use the free analysis to identify image, font, script, and caching opportunities.
- Choose image-only delivery or Turbulence based on the client's constraints.
- Roll out one hostname first and test forms, carts, authentication, and integrations.
- 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.
