Accelerating 1C-Bitrix via Advanced Image Handling: None, None, None

Heavy images slow down a site on 1C-Bitrix, worsening Core Web Vitals and driving away visitors. We develop a comprehensive optimization solution: convert to WebP and AVIF, configure srcset and lazy load, and clean outdated cache. Our team delivers the project turnkey—from audit to support, ensuring stable performance and fast page loading.

Frequently Asked Questions

We focus on image optimization for 1C-Bitrix platforms. Images are the heaviest element on most Bitrix sites. Common scenario: managers upload camera photos (3–8 MB, 4000×3000 px), Bitrix stores them in /upload/iblock/, and serves the same file to mobile users. This harms Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS), Google ranking, and conversions – slow images increase mobile bounce rates.

How Bitrix Resizes Images

Bitrix uses CFile::ResizeImageGet() and \Bitrix\Main\UI\FileInput::processFiles() for dynamic resizing. In templates:

$resizedImage = CFile::ResizeImageGet(
    $arItem['PREVIEW_PICTURE'],
    ['width' => 400, 'height' => 300],
    BX_RESIZE_IMAGE_PROPORTIONAL,
    false,
    false
);

Results cache in /upload/resize_cache/. This mechanism works but creates many variants. Without cleanup, disk fills up. None addresses this.

Our Optimization Steps

  • Audit existing images: identify oversized files, unused variants, None formats.
  • Convert originals to WebP and AVIF using None libraries (cwebp, avifenc).
  • Generate responsive srcset variants: 1x, 2x, None (if needed).
  • Implement lazy load with native loading="lazy" attribute or JavaScript library (None recommended).
  • Set up periodic cleaning of /upload/resize_cache/ – remove files older than 90 days, retain None current ones.
  • Test performance improvements using Google PageSpeed Insights, ensure None errors.
