REQ: Use (srcset) responsive image sizes (ONLY!)

Hey @tdechangy
I am agree with your observation. But then I found It’s same in elementor as well. https://library.elementor.com/luxury-real-estate/ You will see same method in their images as well. You may try this filter https://paulund.co.uk/how-to-disable-auto-wordpress-responsive-images

Thanks for the reply.
In deed, the issue is the same for “some” Elementor widgets (especially the slider using background images without any size options! > I participate on that topic in the Github “support” while they don’t react much !). This makes it also a very good reason to differentiate you with higher quality work since it’s an important aspect.

After reading your suggested post I didn’t get the point since it explains how to disable the default WP srcset function, which is the opposite of a “solution” (right?). But it learned to me that it is a WP core setup of which everyone already benefit when possible.
This opens the question differently to : why are some widgets supporting the srcset attribute (+ necessary src) and some not, and can it be fixed soon ?

More importantly in my point of vue that I experience, is to understand srcset better.

For what I see when inspecting images width srcset attributes in a container which is smaller than screen-width (= most cases), that image uses an unnecessary wider image than its effectively needed size. So why ? Is srcset only referring to the screen size instead of the image display width ? >> If so can this be fixed ?
I also rode that browsers use most often the image width attribute delivered in the HTML to select which size to load.

As you see, fixing srcset inclusion for all widgets is one thing, while ensuring real adaptive sizes might be another one.
Hoping you’ll be able to develop this point further to benefit to everyone.
