After years of experimenting with Wordpress image optimization methods, I've come up with an approach which seems the best so far and achieves the following:

- Pixel perfect image size for any screen and retina
- Delivers the latest supported formats (AVIF, WebP), and falls back to traditional: PNG, JPG
- Achieves high image scoring marks in Google Page Speed and GT Metrix tests
- Only 1 file on the server per image (less bloated and manageable /uploads folder)
- Only 1 file size per image: 'Full' — no more agonizing about which pixel size to choose when adding an image to a fluid % design
- Works in Elementor, but should work in general in Wordpress and with themes (you may need to tweak the snippet depending on what your setup is)
