Responsive Images
<picture>
<source srcset="image.avif" type="image/avif">
<source srcset="image.webp" type="image/webp">
<img
src="image.jpg"
srcset="image-400.jpg 400w, image-800.jpg 800w, image-1200.jpg 1200w"
sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 50vw"
alt="Description"
loading="lazy"
decoding="async"

Lazy Loading
<!-- Native lazy loading -->
<img src="image.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="Description">
<!-- With blur placeholder -->
<img
src="placeholder-blur.jpg"
data-src="image.jpg"
class="lazy"
alt="Description"
>
Build Pipeline (Sharp)
const sharp = require('sharp');
async function optimizeImage(input, output) {
await sharp(input)
.resize(1200, null, { withoutEnlargement: true })
.webp({ quality: 80 })
.toFile(output);
}
Performance Targets
| Asset Type | Target Size |
|---|---|
| Hero image | <200KB |
| Thumbnail | <30KB |
| Total images | <500KB |
