Intelligent Multi-Tier Fallback

fast.site inspects incoming Accept headers and serves the best format your visitor's browser can display: AVIF first, WebP second, and original JPEG/PNG for legacy clients.

Safety Guarantee

Transcoding is strictly size-bounded: if an encoded AVIF or WebP file is ever larger than the original image, fast.site automatically serves the original.
