Introducing responsive images

Believe it or not, we have already started implementing responsive images in Chapter 2, The Main Stage – Building Responsive Layouts. Remember the mostly fluid layout (http://chelmyers.github.io/RPL/layouts/index.html#mostly-fluid). In this pattern, we added a featured image to an article snippet. The image stays at one size until the screen's width gets too small and it starts to scale down. But doing only this to images, and nothing more, can leave your website poorly optimized. Images make up the bulk of websites in terms of size. We don't wait for text to load, do we? It happens so fast it is hardly noticeable. Scaling down large images to 300px for a small mobile device seems inefficient. To learn how to optimize responsive images though, we first have to start with the basics.
