What are the optimal image sizes to use? #4

To try and keep the site as "lean" as possible we need to figure out what the best image sizes are for the different places that images are used. There seems to be three types of image used so far:

  1. Image+Text as in the features page.
  2. Image in "card" like in the showcase page.
  3. Image of "portrait" like in the learn page. An optimal image size for each is needed.

I have checked which resolution we would need. For Bootstrap XS breakpoint we need max 720px in width. If we want to support retina displays we need 1440px.

I think we can use one common size for all. There will be not much content on the pages, that is why I'm thinking the loading performance should be ok.

Thanks. 720px is a reasonable size and I'm sure the eventual choices can be squeezed - by one utility or another - to get the file sizes down so that some kind of multi-pass loading isn't necessary.

I don't think we need to cater specifically for retina screens at the moment but it could be an option if it's really easy to do so.
