Images increase in weight when users add them to a lightbox or a cart or open an image preview or large preview. Each action has a different weight. Images decrease in weight when they are removed from a lightbox or from the cart. An algorithm calculates in real time all these parameters to give each image a constant updated weight. Also included in the algorithm are the upload date and the keyword relevance to the search.
