I can confirm this and mentioned this wherever these 'compressive images' solution was appearing. The problem with it is, it comes with a high cost: performance is going down massively due to the heavy repaint on resize. This means when using such techniques on Tablets or not top of the notch smartphones your site gets very unresponsive when scrolling. This can be reproduced on nearly every 10" Android Tablet. And indeed the performance lack is not as heavy on foreground images than on CSS background images. A demo is hard to reproduce (of course a video would be possible but not very helpful IMO) ---------- Anselm Hannemann | @helloanselm | helloanselm.com
