Built specifically for WordPress, the New Nine Adaptive Images plugin:

  • Works on your existing site
  • Requires no mark-up changes
  • Device agnostic
  • Mobile-first philosophy
  • Easy & powerful customizations
  • Up and running in seconds

Why? Because your site is being viewed on smaller, slower, low bandwidth devices. On those devices, your desktop-centric images load slowly, cause UI lag, and cost you and your visitors unnecessary bandwidth and money. The Adaptive Images Plugin fixes that.

This plugin was built by New Nine Media & Advertising based on the work done by Matt Wilcox.

Set Up is Easy

Install the plugin and visit the 'Settings -> Media' section of your dashboard. You can leave the defaults in place or customize the options to match your breakpoints, desired image quality, etc.

Then, copy the .htaccess information and paste it in your site's .htaccess file.

You're done!

Requirements

To run the New Nine Adaptive Images plugin, your server needs:

  • Apache 2
  • PHP 5 or greater
  • GD lib

These are fairly standard on today's servers. If the plugin isn't working, odds are that you need a better web host.
