 * Hi. What is about 2x sizes? Why did you remove “srcset 2x”?

 * Hello [@geleosan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geleosan/),
 * Basically by inconsistency:
    .Not always the gravatars have srcset. . At other
   times, if the default gravatar is of type SVG, src and serset will be the same..
   Because the lazy load does not yet handle with srcset. .Among others.
 * I plan to add an add serset option, but it has to be concise with the whole plugin.
 * I hope to add in version 2 of the plugin.

 * I wouldn’t mind this as well [@jomisica](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jomisica/)–
   I noticed that sometimes on iPad’s (mainly) Gravatars can look a bit blurry.
 * I was going to try and add a srcset manually and just look for the `imagesize*
   2` but couldn’t find a “reliable” way to do this! In my case, when I manually
   check all Gravatars, they all have the equivalent higher resolution (2x) version–
   maybe it could be a “user option” for “Enable 2x” with a “NOTE: This is not guaranteed
   to work for all Gravatars”?

 * Hello [@willstockstech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/willstockstech/),
 * In version 2 already works. With lazy load and no lazyload.
 * However you need to take into account the quality of gravatars on gravatar.com.
   
   There are a lot of people with a gravatar with low resolution. [https://en.gravatar.com/site/implement/images/#size](https://en.gravatar.com/site/implement/images/#size)
 * I have already contacted gravatar.com to see if it is possible to know the size
   of the original gravatar. But I still had no answer.
 * Knowing the original size would be possible to calculate if a 2x gravatar had
   better quality than a 1x gravatar.
 * The calculation for the srcset depends on the divide pixel ratio.
 * On devices with a 4x pixel ratio, for a 100×100 gravatar it was necessary that
   all gravatars sent to gravatar.com had a minimum of 400×400 to provide excellent
   quality.
 * But again not what happened. Because of the explained above.
 * If the image of a certain user is lower than desired the image will be upscaled,
   losing quality.

 * Of course people are becoming aware and over time will upload images with more
   quality.
 * But for the moment, to get the best results, we should not use large gravatars.
   Always thinking that twice the size is used on multiple devices.
