Launched in 2014 as an open-source JavaScript framework for building user interfaces for web apps, Vue.js has become a tool of choice for many developers. Currently, Vue.js is the most starred front-end JavaScript framework on GitHub with over 145,000 stars.
Slow-loading web content and problematic media displays that involve seemingly interminable scrolling tick off users to no end. Compressing online images is, without question, a critical task for spearheading customer retention for websites. Keep in mind that small images can still look sharp. This article shows you how to achieve that by mastering the techniques of compressing images for the web.
Indisputably, visual presentations of events, places, people, and even intangible things make deeper impressions and linger in our minds for longer than words or any other communication medium, hence the meteoric rise through the ages of transmitting ideas and promoting brands in the business sector through images. The recent discovery of the first image of a black hole has generated calls for techniques for enhancing digital images. Specifically, the clamor is for quality-oriented tweaks that would result in optimal display and increased visibility of slightly hidden yet important content.
I recently came across a tweet by organizer and developer advocate iChuloo by way of @JAMStackLagos on how to reduce the size of an image with only one line of code on Cloudinary.
Using @cloudinary in React and this sends the image size down by ~88% with no visible change in quality. Holy smokes!! pic.twitter.com/PT2b3785Lo
SVG format has been around forever, but until recently usage has been relatively low. However, following improved browser support, developers are rediscovering SVG, and taking advantage of its merits including:
For Stylight, a fashion and design retail search engine, uptime, performance and customer experience are key to the bottom line. With tens of thousands of new images being added to its site each week, and a very small development team, the company needed an efficient way to manage and manipulate images, so they could be viewed quickly and optimally on any device used by consumers in 16 countries. As one of the earliest users of Cloudinary, Stylight sees significant performance and financial benefits related to Cloudinary’s cutting-edge solution for image optimization and delivery on multiple content delivery networks (CDNs).
Everyone today is vying for consumers’ attention. Brands and marketplaces are all searching for a competitive edge in their direct-to-consumer channels to win and retain brand loyalty. In this crowded market, marketing teams recognize that a visual mobile and web experience is mission-critical for enhancing conversions, revenue, and customer loyalty.
ClickMechanic, a London-based, online marketplace for automobile mechanics, has chosen Cloudinary as its media-asset manager for over five years. James Wozniak, ClickMechanic’s full-stack software developer, recently talked with us about the company’s experience with Cloudinary.
Part 1 of this series delves into the background for this guide. Here in part 2 are the ins and outs.
Wait, hear me out. I know, we just talked about this: Nobody is sheepishly pleading you, “Please, might we have just one more image on the page?” No, I’m not telling you to pick that particular fight. Instead, use a little smoke and mirrors to avoid requests for images that your audience needn’t render right away and might never need at all while loading them asynchronously—only as needed.
I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the rules of putting images on the web.
For such a flexible medium as the web, software development can feel like a painstaking, rules-oriented game—an errant comma might break a build, a missing semicolon might wipe out an entire page. For a long time, the laws of image rendering seemed similarly cut-and-dry: For example, if your markups contained an img element , the singular content of its src attribute would be foisted on the audience regardless of their browsing context, period.
