 * Hi there,
 * It looks like this plugin doesn’t take advantage of srcset’s builtin WordPress
   Support. Is there any plan or solution to implement it ?
 * Thanks !

 * Hi, the `scrset` attribute is added to image elements on the page, so it does
   not really come into play with SLB, which acts upon links on a page.
 * Can you provide more details on the specific type of functionality you would 
   like to see?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * May be there is something wrong with my blog then, because the pictures embedded
   through the lightbox are always the biggest one, on any screen it’s displayed,
   either on the homepage or posts. Therefore, these pictures are heavy, and take
   ages to dowload.
 * When I have a look to the html, the image is only described by the , without 
   scrset attribute. Is in a normal behaviour ?
 * Thanks

 * Hi, WordPress should add the `srcset` and `sizes` attributes to image elements
   in posts automatically unless your theme (or a plugin) has blocked it for some
   reason.
 * I would recommend temporarily activating a default theme (such as Twenty-Seventeen)
   to see if your theme is not compatible with WordPress’ responsive image functionality.
   You may also need to disable plugins to determine if they are blocking this functionality.

 * Hi, thanks for your support. I am already using Twenty Seventeen theme.
    I also
   did what you suggested, de-activating all plugins besides Simple Lightbox, with
   no more luck.
 * Then, I thought about looking for another website using Simple Lightbox, then
   simply went to your website, and realized it didn’t feature what I was looking
   for either.
 * Maybe I didn’t explained it properly, so let me reformulate : I expect an image
   displayed in a Lightbox to be integrated with these srcset/size attributes, so
   that it loads an optimized image based on the screen size, instead of the heavy
   original one to be reduced by the browser. It’s a waste of bandwith.
 * In my opinion, loading the full size image kind of makes sense with the initial
   WordPress behaviour (<=> on a dedicated page) because then it offers the ability
   to display it fullsize, whatever the screen is. In a lightbox, that fullsize 
   function is not available, so there is no further hope to exploit such a big 
   image (besides may be downloading it).

 * Ah, you want `srcset` to be used for the image displayed in the lightbox? WordPress’
   built-in `srcset` behavior does not apply here, so I was confused by your original
   request.
 * Nonetheless, responsive support for images displayed in the lightbox is planned.
 * Thanks 🙂
