- TacticalCoder 3y agoNot really because the image is encoded only once and the image is typically then served over the Internet a huge number of times.
- nextaccountic 3y agoOne should still add them up, the results may be surprising (One should also account for the energy spent bookkeeping all energy expenditure)
- youngtaff 3y agoIRL an image is likely to be transcoded multiple times… Say you upload a high res source image to Cloudinary (or similar), then it gets requested in multiple sizes… each size will need to be generated. Each generated version might be cached for a while but then at some point will get evicted so will need to be regenerate when someone requests it I’ve worked with sites where this is exactly the case
