 * Can you explain how technically these work
    Load hiDPI (retina) images Load responsive
   images
 * Do you make scaled images and save to server to show, or are you scaling on demand(
   high cpu)
    Or do we need to make special sizes?

 * I would be interested in this as well.
    It seems like this does the same thing
   as these 2 plugins:
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/ricg-responsive-images/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ricg-responsive-images/)
   
   [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-retina-2x/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-retina-2x/)
 * The first one seems to integrate all available image sizes into the img tag, 
   serving the most appropriate image to the device.
    The latter creates extra x2
   sizes for each specified image size and serves the 2x version to retina devices.
 * I have no idea how BJLazy load does it (for instance what if no 2x image of a
   full size image is available?)
 * However, the weird thing for me would be the combination of both principles. 
   Like many mobile devices these days are retina but still have small screensize
   and possibly bad connection. So we would need to save on image size AND display
   2x images at the same time which seems contradicting to me. No idea how to solve
   that really….
 * Maybe BJ can explain a bit …
 * Anyway, since I am using Cloudflare I am not allowed to test the last 2 options
   anyway atm. I hope that changes soon 😉
