About

Open-sourcing Grid, the Guardian’s new image management service. This is the story of how we are building Grid, the Guardian’s new image management system, working very closely with our editorial colleagues and using a modern technology stack. Oh, and it’s all Open Source. For about a year, a small dedicated team has been building the Guardian’s new image management service. To deliver it, the team relied on a pragmatic Agile approach, working directly with users to quickly develop a product that fits their needs and expectations. The new service is now integrated with our print workflow and used for almost half of the images published in our digital content. As the wider Editorial Tools teams worked on building a modern suite of editorial products, from content authoring and workflow management to editing of front and section pages, the need for a rich source of media became increasingly pressing.

About

TrafficGuardian is an AI-powered traffic protection platform designed to help advertisers filter fraudulent traffic and protect their marketing campaigns. The platform analyzes every incoming click in real time to detect bots, proxies, VPN users, and other suspicious activity before it reaches a website or landing page. Using machine learning and advanced filtering rules, TrafficGuardian ensures that only genuine visitors interact with advertising campaigns. The system provides detailed real-time analytics showing information such as IP reputation, device details, and location data for every visitor. Advertisers can create custom filtering rules based on location, device type, or traffic source to control who can access their pages. Additional tools such as Page Guard and BotCheck help monitor how bots and automated systems interact with campaign pages.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • i've been using it for a weeks and it has been helpful in filtering suspicious traffic. the reports are easy to understand and I like being able to see where the click are coming from. Setup was pretty straightforward too.
  • TrafficGuardian works better than the others and offers more advanced cloaking filters, which is why I think it's a better option.
  • I like custom filter option and dashboard is easy to use. Good cloaker for facebook and google ads.
  • Works well for traffic control and overall performance it stable is done, it runs smoothly and easy to manage for regular use.
  • I did not face any major issue while using TrafficGuardian. It worked fine for me. In the beginning, It was a little confusing to understand but after sometime it worked well for my ads and campaigns.

Cons

  • it took little time to get familiar with all the settings. a few more tutorials for new user would make the experience better.
  • I had to wait about 30 minutes for the payment to be activated, but overall I really liked its cloaking system.
  • My experience has been good so far, nothing much to complain about.
  • Initial setup takes time and support is a bit slow sometime.
  • A bit confusing at start Takes some time to understand
