Autoptimize + SPAI + own CDN

When using SPAI to optimize your images you can skip step 2, which is only needed if you’re optimizing images with Autoptimize.

When using AO to optimize your images you can skip step 1, which is only needed if you’re optimizing images with SPAI.

hope this helps,

Thanks, Frank!

So I disabled the Shortpixel plugin, and followed steps 2 and 3 exactly as described above. Images were still being served from Shortpixels CDN.

Then I tried 1st option (step 1 and 3), and that seems to work.

I’d prefer using only AO (simply to reduce the plug-ins), though.

Anything I’m missing?

Site is https://beige.company

So what version of AO are you using (2.4.4 or 2.5-beta) and where/ how did you add the code snippet @signeralex ?

Am using 2.5 beta, and I’ve added the snippet to this https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/code-snippets/ plugin.

ah, for 2.5 the snippet has to be slightly changed;

add_filter(‘autoptimize_filter_imgopt_base_url’,’use_my_own_cdn’);
function use_my_own_cdn($urlIn) {
    return str_replace(‘cdn.shortpixel.ai’,’my-cdn-name.kinstacdn.com’,$urlIn);
} 

happy optimizing ??

Am afraid it’s not working. If you feel like further investigating, I left the settings as is: https://beige.company

But it’s no big deal at all. I’ll just use the SPAI plug-in for the compression, which works fine.

Thanks!

hmm, tested and can confirm something’s off in the beta, looking into it.

OK, stupid, simple and easily fixed issue; the code has ticks instead of single quotes, happens sometimes and I always forget checking. below code does work for me (if it does not for you manually replace everything that resembles a single quote (but might not be) with a single quote. it _should_ work ??

add_filter('autoptimize_filter_imgopt_base_url','use_my_own_cdn');
function use_my_own_cdn($urlIn) {
    return str_replace('cdn.shortpixel.ai','my-cdn-name.kinstacdn.com',$urlIn);
}

@signeralex – could you please confirm whether the solution offered by Frank works?

Unfortunately, it didn’t. Images were still served via your CDN. Thanks for checking in!

@optimizingmatters do you have any more ideas for this particular case, Frank?

afraid not, as the snippet (after correcting the quotes ?? ) did work for me.

No biggie for me, but in case you’d like to dig a bit further, I’m posting the code I’m using (in case I might have overlooked a quote?)

add_filter('autoptimize_filter_imgopt_base_url','use_my_own_cdn');
function use_my_own_cdn($urlIn) {
    return str_replace('cdn.shortpixel.ai','mk0hadefewi778kq3jwt.kinstacdn.com',$urlIn);
}

In regard to CNAME, here’s what it’s set to: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8c7159xoucmct44/Screenshot%202019-04-16%2015.37.46.jpg?dl=0

Finally, I’m using Kinsta and they have their “own” Kinsta CDN built in (via KeyCDN). Don’t know if that makes a difference.

If you want me to change my settings back to using only AO (and then the SP CDN) for testing, let me know. Happy to do if it helps.

Thanks!

Well, the quotes look fine now, only thing I can think of are cache issues, so make sure to clear Autoptimize & page cache(s) maybe (and that image optimization is on in AO obviously)?

Tried again, emptied all caches, but it’s not working. This time, however, the images didn’t show up at all, see here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jl1jpz8fawhl9v1/Screenshot%202019-04-17%2009.28.38.jpg?dl=0

And when trying to view the missing image, I’m getting this URL:

https://mk0hadefewi778kq3jwt.kinstacdn.com/client/q_lossy,ret_img,w_2160/https://beige.company/wp-content/uploads/thomas-lohr-032c-kiko-13.jpeg

And a 404 Not Found error.

Does that provide any clues? If not, no worries. Must be something at my backend.
