Description

Responsive Image Switcher is a lightweight Gutenberg block that simplifies responsive image management in WordPress. Add the block, upload a desktop image (for screens ≥768px) and a mobile-optimized image (for screens <767px), and the plugin generates clean HTML5 markup. The browser automatically loads the appropriate image based on screen width, ensuring fast load times and an optimal user experience.

Key Features:
– Device-Specific Images: Show different images on desktop (≥768px) and mobile (<767px)
– Lightweight Solution: Uses standard HTML5 tags without extra JavaScript

– SEO Friendly: Improves mobile user experience and page speed
– Simple Interface: Easy-to-use block controls in the Gutenberg editor
