I mixed this awesome #Netlify proxy for #Cloudinary trick from @philhawksworth and @tkadlec with #Eleventy and my responsive images plugin, and the result is great! 😍

JPEG VS AVIF - The Battle of Compression
In this super thorough study I test one single HD image and come to vast sweeping conclusions about JPEG XL and AVIF. But that's still one image comparison…
I'm now using #Eleventy's screenshot service for my links content, thanks a lot @zachleat@zachleat.com!
But…
…it looks like many screenshots fail, so I get the default image — Eleventy's logo —, as you can see in my #Cloudinary Library… 😅

Alex […] shares how using CloudCannon for client sites boosts performance and efficiency 🚀
I love #CloudCannon's efficiency. 👍
But with an SSG, #WebPerf depends on the way you build pages. Good SSGs — as #Eleventy — don't force anything so performance is really just the result of developer's work.
The CMS should have no impact. 🤷♂️
Should I please Lighthouse with modern image formats, or my visitors with progressive rendering of large images in my photography site? 🤔
Of course, this would be much easier with genaralized JPEG XL support, both modern and allowing progressive… 🤷♂️
Most mentions of the magical CSS object-fit: cover;
in development tutorials should be accompanied by a warning: in most situations, it means the browser will download an image that is larger than required (at least in one direction), and optimization on the server side could be a better option.
