Provide Smaller Image Variants for Faster Mobile Loading

Mobile Analyzer

What is this warning?

You're using responsive images, but you haven't provided a small enough version for mobile phones. This means mobile users are forced to download a larger image than they need, which wastes their data and slows down your page load time. Providing a properly sized image for small screens is key to good mobile performance.

How to Fix This Issue

How to Fix It

The Problem

<img srcset="image-800w.jpg 800w, image-1200w.jpg 1200w">

The Solution

Create a smaller version of the image (e.g., 480 pixels wide) and add it to the beginning of your `srcset` attribute.

<img srcset="image-480w.jpg 480w, image-800w.jpg 800w, image-1200w.jpg 1200w">
