This plugin implements enhancements for the responsive images functionality in WordPress. Currently, this includes:
- Improvements to the accuracy of the
sizesattribute by using layout information available in block themes. This enhancement is not available to classic themes. - Implementation of the new HTML spec for adding
sizes="auto"to lazy-loaded images. This enhancement was merged into WordPress 6.7.
See also the complimentary Image Prioritizer plugin which detects which images are outside the viewport, and then adds loading=lazy and sizes=auto to them.
There are currently no settings and no user interface for this plugin since it is designed to work without any configuration.
