I read the same Filament article as Peter, but went a slighty different route. For JPEGs, I've parked Photoshop and now use:

https://compress-or-die.com/jpg

for compression. However, I really like the technique of loading in low quality or blurred images as placeholders, and loading the full fat images in later. The method I really like is creating a low polygon SVG in:

All SVGs then go through:

to make them as small as possible.It's all pretty manual, but it'll get you the speedy mobile experience without sacrificing the visuals.

List,

I am looking for thoughts on using CSS to deliver 2x resolution
images. I remember when it was all the rage on how to deliver high-res
images to devices with a nice screen, but my thoughts are that it
seems like we are punishing mobile users on cell service when we
deliver heavier images to them because they have a nice screen. Am I
missing something?
