The Problem – Images on divi webpage serving single image size irrespective of devices sizes

  • Is your divi webpage slow?
  • Do the <img> tags serve a single size irrespective of the device size?

A slower website causes decrease in sales due to increase in bounce rate.

A responsive image offers different sizes of the same image. The browser decides the best image size to render.

Divi includes a fullsize and regular image module. They don’t serve a responsive image. It’s a one-size-fits-all.

The non-responsive image have a single image size. The same image loads on large desktop, tablet and mobiles.

Let’s say you use the native divi image module with image of size 2000px. Serving the 2000px wide image on a device with width 400px serves no purpose other than to slow down the webpage.

The Solution – Divi responsive image size plugin

The Divi Responsive Image Size plugin has two modules.

  • Responsive Image divi module – It’s available in regular divi section
  • Fullwidth Responsive Image divi module – It’s available in fullwidth divi section.

Both the modules help creates a image tag with responsive image sizes.

A responsive image adds the srcset and sizes attributes to the image markup.

What does srcset and sizes do?

Consider the example of an <img> tag

<img alt=”Divi responsive image sizes” src=”default.jpg” srcset=”small.jpg 240w, medium.jpg 300w, large.jpg 720w” sizes=”(max-width: 360px) 300px, 100vw”>

Let’s go over each attribute.

alt=”Divi responsive image sizes”

The alt attribute describes the alternative text for the image. Browser loads this text when it can’t find the image.

src=”default.jpg”

The src attribute defines a fallback image path for browsers that don’t support srcset and sizesattributes

srcset=”small.jpg 240w, medium.jpg 300w, large.jpg 720w”

The srcset attribute lists images at different sizes. Along with each image path we specify it’s width in pixels.

sizes=”(max-width: 360px) 300px, 100vw”

The sizes attribute instructs the browser on how to pick the right image from the srcset based on the viewport (device) size.

Going by the above example,

  • For viewport size 360px and below, browser displays medium.jpg (300px) image.
  • For viewport size above 360px, browser displays large.jpg image that is 720px wide.

Divi image sizes

Divi supports following css media breakpoints.

  • Large screens (1405px upwards)
  • Laptops and desktops (between 1100px and 1405px)
  • Tablets in landscape mode (between 981px and 1100px)
  • Tablets in portrait mode (between 768px and 980px)
  • Smart phones in landscape mode (between 480px and 768px)
  • Smart phones in portrait mode (between 0 and 479px)

For every breakpoint, the responsive divi modules has a corresponding field to set the image width.
