Responsive images question

    Hi guys,

    Just a question about your responsive / adaptive images feature. Is this done using srcset? As of v5.3 WordPress generates 8 different sizes and adds them as a srcset in the html, meaning any modern browser will select the right size for the viewport. Are you replacing these 8 images with optimised ones? Or are you delivering responsive images a different way?

    Thanks!

    Hi Menathor,

    For CDN:
    We were looking into that but from all testing so far we have decided to do our own adaptive, simply using the original image and resizing it per container based size. Because many themes out there are loading bad image sizes..

    For example, many themes are using container 300×300, but loading size 768 width..
    We have noticed that in many cases and simply decided it’s better to use original image and then resize it on the fly.

    For local mode we do adaptive with srcset as there is not way to resize on users end without doing any load to the server.
