Hi there, just to clarify, the article is from 2018 and what we're looking at right now is a post re-publish with the "2019" addition. Back then, the main page looked something like that http://web.archive.org/web/20180802025742/https://uploadcare...

The "Adaptive Delivery" is the new technology we're currently testing copy for. Actually, we can also discuss the best explainers for "we analyze user context and tailor media content accordingly with our Image Transformations CDN API, serve it from Akamai." The full-stack thing is there to "show" we're leveraging the complete Uploadcare pipeline for just one line of code implementing the "adaptive behavior".

You provide your image URL It gets fetched to Uploadcare via reverse proxy Once it's there, it gets to our storage and is cached on CDN layers Then we analyze the page layout and tell the API which image version we want exactly API produces the version It gets served personalized to your every end-client session

Still feels like you're not taking shripadk's advice. Even complex things should be dumbed down. If a potential customer is interested they will click further.

I'm guilty of this as an engineer in a startup. Engineers thrive on the details. But users don't care too much. They just want the service.
