We have released GoDAM 1.7, focused on performance, SEO automation, and stability. With this release, we have focused on performance and automation. This update extends CDN delivery to WordPress images, adds automatic Video SEO metadata synchronization, and improves overall video handling.
Below is a breakdown of what’s new.
CDN Support for WordPress Images
GoDAM now supports CDN delivery for images uploaded directly to WordPress. What this means:
- Reduce server load – Offload image requests to the CDN instead of serving them from your origin server.
- Deliver images faster globally – Serve images from distributed edge locations to improve load times worldwide.
- Preserve srcset compatibility – Maintain responsive image sizes and deliver the correct size based on each user’s device resolution.
This helps improve performance metrics like LCP and overall page speed, especially on media-heavy sites.
Automatic Video SEO Metadata Sync
Video SEO metadata now syncs automatically with your WordPress Media Library details.
When you update:
- Title
- Description
- Thumbnail
GoDAM updates the corresponding Schema.org VideoObject structured data. This ensures search engines receive consistent and up-to-date metadata without manual adjustments.
Improvements & Fixes
Video Player & Thumbnail Improvements
Several refinements have been made to video playback and management:
- Faster player initialization
- Improved thumbnail persistence
- Auto-generated thumbnails are overwritten by default
- Aspect ratio fixes in admin and frontend views
These changes improve consistency and reduce manual corrections.
Fixes & Security Updates
This release also includes stability and security improvements:
- Fixed issue with missing “Skip” button in skippable ads
- Improved routing for subdomain-based multisite setups
- Resolved mixed-content (HTTP/HTTPS) image issues
- Addressed a few security issues
We recommend updating to ensure compatibility and security. You can update to GoDAM 1.7 directly from your WordPress dashboard. You can also get paid features in our free plan.
