Improve the page speed of your WordPress website
Responsive images for WordPress out of the box. Lazy loading and high quality images for Retina displays. This is the must have plugin for any responsive website.
By using RIGL you will save approximately 35% in file size for each image on tablets and 60%! on smartphones.
Why we need responsive images. Please read this article if you are not convinced of the need for responsive images.
This plugin will generate and load smaller images for devices with a smaller screen width. By using lazy load the images won’t be loaded untill they enter the screen of the visitor. These techniques will make your website much faster and saves you a lot of bandwidth.
Latest update: 1.0.3.3 – (July 1, 2013)
Easy to Use
Works out of the box for all new uploads Optimal default settings are automatically loaded on activation Images placed inside the content of all post types are automatically made responsive
Media library integration makes it very easy to generate smaller images for already uploaded images
Features
Retina images are automatically generated and loaded RIGL will load images to best fit the screen width and the pixel ratio of the viewing device Supports a responsive image shortcode to make images outside the post content responsive Easily manage image sizes and breakpoints
Bulk generate images and delete generated images filtered by date
Media Library integration
See for each image which smaller versions are available/missing Generate per image size, per image or select a bulk of images to generate images for using Ajax (without a page reload) Select images which should be ignored, which no images should be generated for when bulk generating images
Bulk Generate or Delete Generated Images inside the Media Library Truly faster To illustrate your website will truly become faster take a look at this calculation. You have an page with 20 images that each have the same dimensions 1024×768 and they are the same size 120kB.
20×120kB = 2400kB. For a tablet images with dimensions of 800×600 are loaded, they are 78kB each. 20×78kB = 1560kB -> 2400 – 1560 = You save 840kB For a smartphone images with dimensions of 600×450 are loaded, they are 48kB each. 20×48kB = 960kB -> 2400 – 960 = You save 1440kB
Bulk Generate By Date
Generate images for all images (using Ajax) Select uploaded images by date and generate images in smaller bunches
Managing Image Sizes & Breakpoints Made Easy
Add as many image sizes and breakpoints as you wish Image sizes will automatically be added to the WordPress uploader Temporarily turn off an image size or breakpoint Set the maximum width + height and the crop type (soft proportional/hard) for individual image sizes at each breakpoint
