I installed NoScript recently and was actually surprised by how many sites actually load low resolution placeholders and then swap them out with high res versions via Javascript. I'm assuming to avoid this jumping around.
- labawi 7y agoThat's probably an effort to load a faster, maybe a leaner version for mobile/whatever. To actually prevent jumping (including on lean image load), I believe it would be more effective to simply set width and height.
- cptskippy 7y agoI think it's a mix but most of the preloads I've encountered aren't just lower resolutions, rather they look like a smear of color. Like someone used a Gaussian blur filter with a 1000x pixel radius.
- Dylan16807 7y agoYeah, I could understand a 128x128 pixel version or something but when it's 10x10 why are you even bothering.
