Here’s a breakdown of the image data you provided:
What it is:
This is a set of HTML <img> tags, specifically designed for responsive images. This means the browser will choose the most appropriate image size based on the user’s screen size and resolution.
Key Components:
* srcset attribute: This is the core of responsive images. It lists multiple image URLs,each with a different width (e.g., 320w, 568w, 768w, etc.). The w unit indicates the width of the image in pixels.
* sizes attribute: This tells the browser how much space the image will occupy on the screen at different viewport sizes. 100vw means the image will take up 100% of the viewport width.
* width and height attributes: These provide the dimensions of the largest image in the srcset.
* src attribute: This provides a fallback image URL for older browsers that don’t support srcset and sizes.
* alt attribute: Provides choice text for the image, meaningful for accessibility and SEO. In this case, it describes the peopel in the image: “Hector Garduno, left, who came to the show with his partner, Sofia Carrera, from Querétaro”.
* class attribute: Used for styling or scripting purposes. Here, it’s “image”.
Image Source:
All the image URLs point to the same base image hosted on california-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com. The filename is la-de-los-mexican-oasis-fans-2.JPEG.
In essence:
The code is set up to deliver a smaller image to users on mobile devices and a larger, higher-resolution image to users on desktops or larger screens, optimizing the user experience and reducing bandwidth usage.
