This tool is designed for developers working on local copies of websites, particularly when handling large image libraries from production environments. It allows local sites to serve images directly from a production server using a CDN, eliminating the need to transfer files and supporting custom thumbnail sizes.

• Production image proxying: Directs the CDN to fetch original images from a specified production URL, ensuring local sites access up-to-date media.
• Dynamic thumbnail generation: Automatically creates required thumbnail sizes on-the-fly through the CDN, accommodating changes in registered image sizes during local development.
• Local environment compatibility: Forces the CDN module to operate on local sites, bypassing typical connection requirements that might otherwise prevent use.
• Simple configuration: Set up by installing the tool and specifying the production site URL in settings or via a constant in the configuration file.
• Reduced storage needs: Avoids duplicating large image files locally, saving disk space and simplifying development workflows.
