Did you know that responsive web design is at boom when it comes to WordPress driven sites. It is a combination of a fluid layout, media queries and high quality graphics implemented together to create a website that fits easily on a particular screen size of Smartphones, iPads or Tablet computers. And we all know that huge image files are majorly responsible for slowing down the loading speed of your web page which results in poor search engine ranking. Taking all this into account, you need to reduce file sizes so that a website can run smoothly on all platforms including mobile devices.

Psd to WordPress Integration is an essential step in a process for developing a professional looking and highly responsive WordPress website. Despite of value-added WordPress CMS advantages, many developers have a hard time to develop highly responsive websites that fits easily on a particular screen size of Smartphones, iPads or Tablet computers. The biggest challenge is how to reduce the size of file to deliver different-sized image files to different devices.
Earlier, web developers are used to take advantage of CSS to make images responsive and look tidy. However, with this technique, developers are only able to shrink the images which is highly discouraged by the W3C standards. There are plenty of ways to make your site images truly responsive :
1) By replacing image in the markup with background image.
2) Using a larger image as the background (for desktop version) and smaller image in the markup and then hide the smaller ones by using CSS on larger screens.
Or you can also take advantage of WordPress CMS. Using WordPress’ built-in “Featured Image” functionality is one the smoothest way to deal with this problem. The featured image functionality in WordPress’ dashboard helps you to reduce the file size that users send to mobile devices. Before, we get started lets understand about “Featured Images” – a popular feature of WordPress. It is also known as thumbnails which allows you to specify any particular featured image for any post and further show it along with the post’s content. 
Now, the question is how to use the Featured Image function of WordPress in order to deliver different-sized image files. Well, it is so simple. All you need to do is install Mobble plugin, add conditional tags to the single.php andpage.php files and then replace images. To replace images, first and foremost, open the editing screen of any post or page through WordPress dashboard and delete all the existing images. Now click at the “Set featured image” already available on the bottom right hand side of the screen. A “Set featured image” pop-up will appear. Click on the “Gallery” tab to view all deleted images. Now click on “Use as featured image” and then select “Update button” in order to save the changes.
If you are thinking that “Ohhh, it’s too difficult,” or “afraid of getting your hands dirty with codes” then it is advisable to hire virtual assistance of a professional WordPress web developer to create highly responsive images for a user-friendly and responsive WordPress powered website.
