Decent tutorial for using retina images?

    I’d like to serve images the best way possible, including retina images. But I can’t find a decent tutorial at your on how to set this up…

    Yes, there are 2 blog posts (from 2016 and 2016, by the way); and they tell something about an extra plugin which creates retina images.

    But I just don’t get it.

    Imagine I have a website with a content width of 720 pixels. And I know how to use Photoshop. What do I have to do for an image used at a regular webpage, shown full width (720px)? What width does the image need to be when saving from Photoshop: 720px or 1440px? How do I need to name it? Or do I have to save 2 seperate images (one at 720px and one at 1440px)? How do I use the additional plugin WP Retina 2x? How do I use Shortpixel? How does this all work together?

    I just don’t get it.

    Please, write an article that just explains everything, and gives a step-by-step tutorial for best practice.

    Hi Marc!

    ShortPixel Image Optimizer only replaces your physical image files with optimized versions of it, regardless of being a Retina image or not.

    Moreover, you can choose if you want to optimize your Retina images or not. The setting is located on Settings > ShortPixel > Advanced: https://i.imgur.com/AWdUHxq.png

    In any case, I think your question would be more appropriate for the guys @ WP Retina 2x.

    If you have any other question about ShortPixel, just let us know.

    Cheers,
