In this video you will learn how to optimize your website by only loading the most optimal image size depending on the viewport width. We will be going over three different examples step-by-step.

Thank you for your video. What if there are several photos in the code, and they are superimposed on each other, and they need to set styles? How to set styles for them if they are in <picture> tag?

Great tutorial, thank you! Would be nice if you could also explain how to make images responsive when you attach width and height HTML attributes to them to prevent browser layout shifting during loading.

You would be surprised how many websites don't implement responsive images correctly, or at all. Does your website have responsive images?

[psm]

impressive! do you think this is better than using object fit with css? or do you think there are use cases for each method?
