How can I tell Adaptive Images is working?

  • Hi,

    I’ve no idea how to tell if adaptive images is serving a reduced size file on mobile.

    If I’m on an iphone and save the image it saves the full sized version, yet when browsing on 3G it loads at a good speed. Same goes for ipad. When I’m on my PC I can right click an image to find out it’s size, just not on mobile and the thing is AA doesn’t need to resize the images on my screen so I’ve no way of knowing!

    Regards,
    Chris

    I believe Pingdom does not actually mimic a true mobile device. If you really want to test with mobile devices, and this is where Adaptive Images shines, I would suggest a tool like https://webpagetest.org.

    (Or you could even test in your web browser with the Responive web design mode enabled in the Developer Tools. After all the Adaptive Images plugin only messes with you images, so you will be able to see its results crystal clear.)

    HI Takis,

    I’ve also think I’ve worked out the image size issue too.

    When I export my images I export them at 50% quality.

    I went to the server itself, took all the worpress versions of the same image so the 2048, 150, 300, 1024 etc.

    If I opened the original file in photoshop, resized to 1024 and saved the image at the highest quality I got a bigger file that almost exactly matched the the one on the server. So the images are not compressed at the wordpress end.

    Hmm, it’s getting more and more weird.

    I guess we are going to have to wait for what your developer has to say then!
