How it Works?

We are aware that when you use ImageBoss, the URL of your images are now being exposed through the domain imageboss.me instead of your own. To help search bots like Google know that your images are not on the domain imageboss.me we add a 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.
