Web2Img is a tool to bundle your web files into a single image, and extract them via Service Worker at runtime.
You can use image hosting sites as free CDNs to save bandwidth costs.

Q: Is free CDN safe?
A: Yes, the program will verify the data integrity.
Q: Is free CDN stable?
A: Not sure, but you can provide multiple URLs to improve stability.
Q: Can any free CDN be used?
A: No, CDN must enable CORS, allow empty referrer and "null" origin (or real value).
Q: Would it be better to optimize the image before uploading?
A: If the server will re-encode the image, it makes no difference.
Q: Why use 404.html?
A: It's an easy way to intercept any path.
Q: How to update files?
A: Just overwrite x.js, the client polls this file every 2 minutes.
Q: What if the browser doesn't support Service Worker?
A: Unfortunately, the page can't be displayed. You can add a fallback in 404.html.
Q: Will new features be added?
A: This project is just an experiment, there is a new project named freecdn which is much more powerful. (better docs will be released soon)
