Hello, @@central4allgmailcom, nice question, yes, we will make sure that the Adaptive Images plugin will be compatible with PHP versions 8+.

You are welcome, happy to be of service!

Thank you for taking the time to analyze this @alx359! One thing our plugin does not do, and it does not do it by design, is interfere in the way the core is handling its thumbnails. This means it will not create more thumbnail sizes nor will it prevent thumbnail sizes from being produced. And this was a design decision straight from the start because we wanted it to function totally transparently.

Of course it does create its own thumbnails but these live in its cache and are only created if and when they are requested by devices with relevant screen sizes and based on the breakpoints set in its settings. This way we achieve a lot of performance gains because we don’t want to use PHP and CPU for image manipulation and delivery all the time. We want to keep this at a minimal and only when it serves the basic purpose of the plugin, which is to serve as small, but not too small, images based on each device’s dimensions and do this as quickly as possible.

Also we have still only experimentally solved the issue of bypassing the cache of CDNs and making it work to our advantage. There is a special option in the plugin settings page for this.

Not sure if I answered your question. However taking the plugin to another direction is not in our plans at the moment. I’d be happy to discuss anything that might seem interesting or challenging though!

Hello, my friend, thank you for reaching out!

If I understand what you are saying correctly, the Adaptive Images plugin cannot serve exactly this purpose and it doesn’t have any setting or filter to facilitate this. I am not sure what the benefit of this might be, to be honest. Perhaps you could elaborate a bit more?
