Evolution of ＜img＞

on YouTube ↗06m

" summary

History of the <img> tag moves from Netscape lowsrc to responsive images and modern formats but the practical claim is that sending the right file means you must manage 60% of page weight as images and often produce 10–100× more image variants which breaks operations. The solution shown is moving format/size negotiation to the edge with Client Hints + server transcoders, letting the backend generate WebP/JPEG2000/optimized variants and select them per device and network so responsive images actually scale.
