The proxy concept exists to fetch all resources from one common server, even if they originally reside on other places. Examples are images from image server or remote CSS files or font data.
Generally, it
- allows to embed the shop and to circumvent the same-origin or CORS restrictions for specific ressources.
- simplifies SSL Setup, as it can make sure all ressources are fetched from a secure source
- may improve privacy by hiding the end user (it may load not that promptly as from a public/google CDN though)
Images #
- It will always fetch the images as assigned in the warehousing system
- It adds watermarks if configured
- It allows fetching via https (using the https base address) to keep the SSL safe
- scaling and coloring options can be applied
CSS #
- A CSS may be configured that resides elsewhere, e.g. at the webdesigners premises for convinient maintainance.
- The CSS is scanned itself, to accomodate for import statements or fonts.
some of these features require access to the settings area of the shop
