That is one of the best explanation I have seen so far. Thank you, so much, for putting it together. Here it is 2022 and so much has been changed, is there any chance you will update this? If anyone knows of any current sources that explains this, please share.
Great video, in the process of implementing this approach. However I just stumbled across this srcset bug in Edge that has me worried - developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/platform/issues/7778808/ Have you run into this at all? Any suggestions for the best workaround?
Feeling stupid after having done an exhaustive nerve-racking research on the topic, amassing different perspectives with no clear consensus in sight. I was nearly there but this really cut through the fog. I was weary of outsourcing to image CDNs and hadn't looked at all their benefits. Care to comment on some of the downsides?
Great Video to explain how the Image CDN works. I've heard about the kind of service long ago but always being lazy to understand how they work. Thanks!
Getting super confused by what you say at 11:10. When you say, "look at the width of each image and determine the URL to fetch", are you referring to the actual image from Unsplash or the div in which the image goes into?
He's referring to the width of the image after it is resized by the specific circumstances of the browser. So not the actual image: the size of the image after being (possibly) being squeezed into the div.
