Overview
Adaptive Images
Resizes and optimizes images delivered to mobile devices, in a transparent way, so that the total download time is dramatically reduced. It works as a filter between your WordPress website and the devices and seves smaller images to them.

Fundamental goals
- Reduce the total download time of a web page in mobile devices dramatically.
- Work transparantly and unobtrusively by being independant of your theme layout and style.

Brakes all images

Good Idea, worked some time ago. Now it brakes all my images. The htacess entry that produced by this Plugin was the problem. Moved to other image optimization strategy and wepb. Dont have the time to fix that single Plugin problem.
When it works, it works well

Struggling to get it working on one site, but works brilliantly on another site, much better than WP native responsive image solution.
barely works, or doesnt work
by garg4m3l·6 years ago·1 reply
i think it worked for one of my images? and only generated 1024. didnt generate more sizes even when i accessed it from 200×200 phone.
so:
- didnt resize my images, especially featured images
- doesnt have srcset
- doesnt use custom sizes
- bad for seo cuz it will index each of ‘cached’ images as it replaces link in source code. srcset always points search engines to original image instead
sry but this is awful
