For improving the customer experience for every website
With this acquisition, Uploadcare aims to enhance the customer experience for every website, and become the leader in the field of adaptive content delivery. The acquisition follows Uploadcare’s recent $1.7 million funding round to accelerate the company’s growth further.
Blinkloader was founded by a team of three web engineers to help websites, and content providers perform faster and immediately reduce page-loading times. According to Blinkloader team, it saved more than three terabytes of image bandwidth each month for its users with more than a million of optimized images.

New global web performance requirements and demanding customer experience expectations are a big challenge for businesses. Uploadcare boosts delivery performance and meets new global web performance requirements, tailoring content to every user context and saving weeks of time and developer resources with the help of Blinkloader’s comprehensive image optimization technology. The acquisition will also bolster Uploadcare’s foothold in the industry and help create a new standard of CDN solutions for businesses.
Having the advantage of Adaptive Delivery Technology
“The amount of data that’s needed to handle files and media on a daily basis is staggering and growing. Businesses need to have confidence that their content is being delivered with the utmost expediency and efficiency,” said Igor Debatur, Founder and CEO of Uploadcare.
According to Debatur, this move helps them gain a significant competitive advantage with Adaptive Delivery Technology to generate more revenue opportunities for our clients. Coupled with our infrastructure, Adaptive Delivery can help recover up to $31M of yearly lost revenue for large e-commerce companies, SaaS platforms, and online marketplaces.
