How it Works?

ImageBoss offers two powerful features to boost your SEO:

1. Custom Domains

We also support the usage of Custom Domains with ImageBoss. Not only it provides a branded experience for your users but also enhances your SEO. By serving images from your own domain, search engines can better associate your images with your website, improving your search engine rankings.

2. Link Header

When you use ImageBoss, by default, the URL of your images is exposed through the domain img.imageboss.me. To help search bots like Google know that your images are not on the domain imageboss.me, we add an HTTP response header so Google can follow up the canonical URL of your images.

For example, if you request this image:

  
    curl -X HEAD -I https://img.imageboss.me/mywebsite/height/500/images/01.jpg
  

The response HTTP headers will be something like this:

  
    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Content-Type: image/jpeg
    Vary: Origin
    Cache-Control: public, max-age=26297438, s-maxage=26297438
    Link: <http://mywebsite.me/images/01.jpg>; rel="canonical"
    x-cache: Hit from cloudfront
    x-amz-cf-id: IKDV2RztRsf5Tzg1WOQhLlAJi1uhPf1ogmzx1c3uVsdU8Y5bE2oVVw==
  

The "Link" header tells Google that this image actually belongs to http://mywebsite.me/images/01.jpg and not imageboss.me.
