Today I purchased TwicPics and started optimizing our custom company website. It took me a while to write code for replacing the default image tags in our custom CMS by the TwicPics tag. Under normal circumstances this is simple, but we use a special storage and I want to be able to switch on and off between TwicPics and local storage, especially in development mode. At last, it worked and images are now served lightening fast.

I made some other improvements on our website. Google Lighthouse and GTMatrix gave me great insights.

Overall, our Website score went from grade C to A within a few hours.

TwicPics provides a perfect documentation and solid interface so that every developer can start digging in anytime.

The only thing I could not set up was a custom CNAME record as a domain name for serving our photos. This is an important point because we want our images to be indexed on Google under our own hostname. I opened a ticket today, and I am looking forward to get a helpful response, hopefully this weekend.
