How does OptiForge deliver AVIF and WebP without breaking original images?

OptiForge creates non-destructive sidecar files (.jpg.avif, .png.webp) alongside original media. Original high-res source files are never altered or deleted. Browsers negotiate next-gen delivery via Accept headers or our under 1ms DOM variant map cache.

How does OptiForge protect against cloud storage operation and bandwidth charges?

OptiForge integrates two patent-grade shields: Global Edge caching (eliminating up to 99% of redundant cloud read operations) and local cryptographic hash deduplication (saving over 80% of redundant write operations).

Can I point my own custom domain (e.g., cdn.mywebsite.com) to the edge?

Yes! Pro and Business plans support custom CNAME routing. Simply point your DNS CNAME record (DNS Only / Grey Cloud) to your assigned edge router hostname, and our edge router automatically handles SSL and global caching across 300+ edge locations.

What payment methods are supported for customers worldwide?

We process payments through Lemon Squeezy and Paddle (Merchants of Record), enabling seamless checkout via credit/debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay with instant automated license key delivery.

Technical & Architectural FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our edge pipeline, cloud bandwidth protections, and secure global licensing.

To route media through the OptiForge Global Edge, add a DNS CNAME record in your domain registrar or DNS provider: point cdn.yourdomain.com directly to the OptiForge edge router with proxy status set to DNS Only (Unproxied/Grey Cloud). The OptiForge Global Edge Network automatically provisions SSL certificates and establishes edge routing across 300+ Global Anycast Edge Locations.

Standard cloud storage setups can incur unexpected fees. OptiForge implements a Smart Zero-Waste Cloud Bandwidth Shield: 1) The OptiForge Global Edge Network caches media at 300+ locations, shielding 99% of read requests directly at the edge layer; 2) The plugin uses a local cryptographic manifest to calculate SHA-256 hashes, preventing redundant write operations during bulk sync.
