The idea to assign a thumbnail to the page.
The problem
To get a thumbnail (screenshot) of the page, we need to use some 3rd party services, such as Alexa, Snapcasa etc. Problem is that they are to slow. These services add request of the thumbnail to the queue so you are unable to get the thumbnail of the page instantly. What's more, you became dependent on them.
Use Case Description
- Page thumbnail in the search results
- Thumbnail in various community sites (such as [1])
- Link submit sites, like [2]
- Any other sites, which wants to display thumbnail of the page.
