imaging-heap

There’s beauty in the breakdown of bitmap image data. A command line tool to measure the efficiency of your responsive image markup across viewport sizes and device pixel ratios.

Works out-of-the-box with img (of course), img[srcset], img[srcset][sizes], picture, picture [srcset], picture [srcset][sizes]. Ignores .svg files. No support for background images (yet?).

Installation

npm install --global imaging-heap
