How Gumlet’s CDN and image compression affect real-world page speed after applying a discount
I’ve been tweaking page speed on a couple of client sites lately, mostly image-heavy blogs and small ecommerce pages. We tried lazy loading and manual compression, which helped a bit, but results were inconsistent across regions. I’m now looking at Gumlet mainly because it combines CDN delivery with automatic image optimization. The discount makes it more tempting, but I’m curious how noticeable the speed gains actually are in real usage, not just in lab tests. Did anyone see meaningful improvements after switching, especially for mobile users?

From my experience, the biggest difference showed up once traffic started coming from different countries. Before, pages felt fast locally but sluggish elsewhere. After moving images to Gumlet, load times evened out a lot, especially on slower connections. Automatic format conversion and resizing saved us from maintaining multiple image versions. We also used their analytics to catch oversized assets we missed before. The pricing felt easier to justify once we applied the Gumlet Discount, since it lowered the risk of testing it properly for a few months. It’s not magic, but it removed a lot of manual work.
