Hello all, I would like to ask if I have a large image say 500 x 500 and I want to use the photo again in a thumbnail as well (by shrinking it down to 100 x 100) would it be better to just create a 100 x 100 image or ask the browser to resize?
The major things i'm considering here are 1) Loading speed 2) Quality of the picture 3) Bandwidth conservation.
The reason I'm considering this is because I've read online articles about reusing images. They claim that since the browser caches images if I reuse the very same image it won't need to reload the image thus saving bandwidth. My question now is what if I need to resize it? Will it still be just as fast? Would there be a significant loss in quality?
