FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Technical details on integrating ImageKit with Jahia CMS/DXP.
What does the Gladtek ImageKit Connector for Jahia do?
The connector bridges ImageKit DAM with Jahia CMS, giving editors intuitive media pickers inside Jahia to search, select, and embed images and videos that are dynamically transformed and served via ImageKit CDN.
Can we scope the media picker to specific folders per site?
Yes. Using the ImageKit Site Configuration panel inside Jahia, administrators can select an active root folder (such as `/TENET`), a collection, or specific tags to filter assets available to that site’s content authors.
Are media assets stored directly in the Jahia JCR database?
No. Assets reside in ImageKit and are served directly from ImageKit’s global CDN. Jahia stores only the lightweight asset ID and transformation parameters, keeping your JCR database lean and fast.
How does it improve Core Web Vitals (LCP and CLS)?
By automatically delivering next-gen formats (AVIF/WebP) and serving correctly sized responsive images based on device viewport, the connector drastically reduces payload sizes and speeds up Largest Contentful Paint (LCP).
Can editors preview assets inside Jahia Page Composer?
Yes. Jahia Page Composer and Page Builder render live transformed assets in-context immediately upon selection.
Does the module support Video assets?
Yes. The connector includes dedicated video handling with adaptive bitrate streaming support and poster frame generation directly from ImageKit.
How is the connector configured in Jahia?
Configuration is handled via standard Jahia OSGi configuration files (`.cfg`) or the dedicated ImageKit Site Management panel inside Jahia jContent.
Which Jahia versions are supported?
The connector is built for and tested against Jahia CMS / DXP versions 8.1 and 8.2.
