Presentation: Improving Performance with Responsive Images
“I will be speaking about the web’s hunger for more, bigger, and higher-resolution images, and the performance problem this creates. I’ll give a brief history of the new (and occasionally controversial) picture element, and discuss some other exciting new standards and techniques that are on the horizon.
Attendees can expect concrete examples of how picture works, and to learn how they can use responsive (and responsible!) images right now to improve performance and deliver the best possible experience to their users.”
