  In your very link you can see that you can only add a handle to a third party loader. Their built in image optimization that works in vercel does not if you static export and host elsewhere.

    If you do a static export, you don’t have a server to optimize images. It’s just a bunch of static files. The only way to optimize the image is to point to a service through the loader. Also, the image optimization on the default Next.js server, for example deployed to a $4 VPS, also works without Vercel.

      Next should have the same functionality that Gatsby had when doing a static export: pre-optimised images for different breakpoints that are created at build time. That would be a truly portable solution.

      that is simply not true, there are static export, 3rd party image optimizers [0] (that re-use <Image />) - just vercel does not care about theirs for static export. Also, look at how gatsby does without cloud/server hosted images. [0]: https://www.npmjs.com/package/next-image-export-optimizer https://www.npmjs.com/package/next-image-export-optimizer
