The ImageEngine Control Panel provides Traffic information and analytics graphs to help you visualize how ImageEngine is performing on your site. These graphs are provided to help you keep track of your ImageEngine usage and keep an eye on any anomalies that can affect the performance of ImageEngine or your site.
In addition to per-engine and account analytics, we offer an Account Traffic Report to help you better understand the amount of traffic ImageEngine has served within a specific date range.
To ensure that you are getting whole usage amount for a date range, please use the Account Traffic report.
Account Traffic Report
-
Click the Bar chart icon to access the “Traffic Report” in the top-left of the sidebar.
-
The Usage report screen appears:
-
Click "Generate" to produce the usage report for the prior month, or specify a specific date range.
-
The system displays the total Smartbytes for each subscription and trial with your account in the grid.
-
This information may be downloaded as text or CSV by clicking the “Download” button.
Engine Analytics
On the Analytics page of your account, you can find useful graphs to help see how ImageEngine is working on your site. Many of these graphs show only bytes image content requests.
To access the Analytics tab from the sidebar, you must first open the menu to the right of the subscription selection, and click the "Analytics" option from the menu
You may view the analytics for all Engines or only a set of them. uncheck boxes for engines you do not wish to have included.
If you only wish to view the Analytics page for a specific engine, you may access a single Engine's analytics pages from the sidebar:
Graph descriptions
All graphs have time frame buttons above the graph to allow you to view various ranges of data.
Once you access the analytics tab, you will see the following graphs:
Cache Hit Ratio

This graph shows the percentage of images that are being served from ImageEngine servers (a cache hit) versus the amount being served from the Origin (a cache miss). The pie chart can be viewed for the last hour, the last day, and the past 7 days
A high amount of cache misses can mean many things; from low traffic in a region to new images being updated on the website. One option to consider if you wish to increase your cache hit rate is to increase the time to live (TTL) of images.
Image Payload Reduction

This graph presents a histogram of the Original bytes requested through ImageEngine, showing how much ImageEngine has reduced the payload of images. The total SmartBytes is displayed, as well as the Image Payload Reduction as a percentage. This is a useful way to see how efficiently ImageEngine serves compressed images. You can view this information for the last hour, last 24 hours, last seven days, the current month, last month, and the last 30 days.
Bandwidth Saved

The Bandwidth Saved graph displays a timeline of outgoing data compared to the initial size of the stored content. You can view this for the last seven days and the last 30 days
Requests

This is a timeline of the number of requests made to the selected Delivery Address(es). You can use this graph in conjunction with other graphs to see if any strange numbers can be explained by a spike or fall in traffic. You can view this information for the last 24 hours, the last seven days, the current month, and the last 30 days.
Smartbytes Used

This Graph displays the total number of Smartbytes used on a daily basis. Views available are the current month, and last 30 days.
Requests by GeoIP
This Graph displays the top countries that are accessing content through your configured Engines. Mouse over each slice of the pie chart to view what country each represents.
Bytes Saved By Image Format
View the original filesize of requested images, vs the filesize of the images optimized through ImageEngine. The information is presented according to the optimized file format.
That is, if a jpg is optimized and is served as a Webp file, it is included in that column.
Requests By OS
Requests By Form Factor
Carbon Footprint Reduction
A website can have a bigger carbon footprint than you might think, and there are relatively easy actions that can be taken to eliminate tonnes (literally) of CO2 emissions generated by your website. Reducing the image bytes transferred and stored, while at the same time maintaining the visual quality of the image by using ImageEngine is one of these actions.
Estimates of the kWh-cost of a single Gigabyte range from 1.8.kWh to 0.5 kWh. Therefore, optimizing with ImageEngine to decrease the transmitted filesize to users, reduces your carbon footprint by reducing the overall energy needed.
