Now that I have #Eleventy v3 installed, I finally implemented the 11ty image optimization plugin. The before and after is pretty striking. I have an image-heavy site at Cybercultural.com, so in one of the latest posts the amount transferred to the user is 4 times less! 800kb vs 3.2MB before. Also, it doesn't all download at once β€” that's 800kb only if the user reads the whole post (which I hope they do, of course).

@zachleat Here's the write-up of the troubleshooting done. In the end, it's still JavaScript and does its own thing. Hope this all makes sense and helps others out too.

πŸ“° New post on my #blog !

It outlines how i built my own not too complex solution to create a post-specific image gallery using #Eleventy .

Could be very useful for portfolios where the main focus is images.

Was feeling adventurous and updated my website to @11ty v4 alpha.

The great thing about most Eleventy updates: Unless you have some hyper-specialized thing going on, it’s just a matter of bumping the version. No humongous migration guides to follow, no hours of fiddling with dependencies, and npm install doesn’t take forever because it doesn’t have to download half of npm.

It just worksβ„’
