How to encode “?” in image URL

Hi,

A bunch of jpgs are listed, but to keep it simple lets just look at my profile picture on the main homepage (right widget):

https://i0.wp.com/www.chrisontour84.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/profile.jpg?w=192

This ? should be encoded with %3F

Can you please let me know what it should be encoded with %3F?
Please note that the parameter w=192 is specific for Photon https://jetpack.com/support/photon/ – that means other hosting providers may not provide this parameter.

In general, I am still not sure what you’d like to achieve? You want to resize your 25 images? In that case, you should use the Photon links like

Hey Dat! I want to encode the “?” symbol, because of a delay they might cause in the loading process of my page.

Pingdom says:

Resources with a “?” in the URL are not cached by some proxy caching servers. Remove the query string and encode the parameters into the URL for the following resources:

And that is just one out of 25-30 accross the website

Thanks!!

Hi Chris,

You might take a look at this StackOverflow question (and answers): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34160546/resources-with-a-in-the-url-are-not-cached-by-some-proxy-caching-servers

If you decide to try the code therein, I strongly recommend using a plugin like Code Snippets (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/code-snippets/ ). That will keep your functions.php clean, and ensure your site won’t crash/act up/etc in case it doesn’t work.

Best,
Cena

Thanks Cena,

I tried that yesterday and sadly it did not work in my case ??

Maybe I will create a threat in there as well, but ill keep this open here too just in case someonee else has another idea ??

Cheers,
