Make laracasts score 100% with PageSpeed Insights?

@aurawindsurfing I thought only google cared about pagespeed :P

I would expect that images are larger than display size so they look good on retina @2x displays. Neither pageSpeed or GTMetrix would be accounting for that reason.

img source set is handy to serve differently scaled images to each device. I recently started using it and did get 100% scores in lighthouse.

<img srcset="elva-fairy-480w.jpg 480w,
             elva-fairy-800w.jpg 800w"
     sizes="(max-width: 600px) 480px,
            800px"
     src="elva-fairy-800w.jpg"
     alt="Elva dressed as a fairy">

@automica yeah looks like no many people care about pagespeed anyway! My SEO lads are saying otherwise but go figure!

@aurawindsurfing SEO guys are bound to say different, when they stop itching to get your site to 'page 1' of google.

@artcore I suspect the reason why @jeffreyWay isn't using srcset on laracasts is that its a pain in the arse to do for every image.

If this was a more public site, then theres more benefit to making your site rank higher than your competitors. I cant imagine subscribers to laracasts are put off by the speed of the images loading though.

@automica got it!

I agree with public / subscribers site argument. I personally found that by implementing https://cloudinary.com I have made a huge different to my classifieds site. It basically takes care of everything regardless of end user device.

Its an easy fix as well.

@aurawindsurfing i'd not heard of cloudinary. thanks for the heads up. i'll give it a look.

@automica think of if like s3 but with automatic resizing and some really cool transfarations of images out of the box https://cloudinary.com/documentation/image_transformations

@automica PITA for sure which is why I automated it. Good brain breaker to handle updates on it while keeping polymorphic relations ;) 3 files are auto created/updated/deleted based on the main image (largest). I suppose a cdn taking care of this as aurawindsurfing mentioned would have been easier lol.

This topic is 2 years old but currently, the speed insights performance of this site are horrible at 48% on mobile, 73% on desktop! Accessibility scores look bad as well!
