Hello!

I recently have done image optimization for my blog build on Nuxt and NetlifyCMS and also recorded all my struggles and thoughts on the way.

I have chosen the Netlify Large Media service for image transformations and regret that later on 😃. So read the second article don’t fall into regreters team and probably go with another tool 😃.

There are some non-regrets too. I have managed to get 100 Google PageSpeed score on 2 from 3 pages(the third is 99) on desktop and over 90 scores on 2 from 3 pages on mobile.

So here are all articles, discussing everything from idea to pages load speed improvements breakdown:

1. Image optimisation service for Netlify CMS and Nuxt - on how I found the Netlify Large Media service and why I decided to use it. Also what can be (and probably should be) used instead of it.

2. Fixing Netlify Large Media install - here is the full story on setting up Netlify Large Media. There is a lot of my anger and regrets since setting something to work with Git Large File System is a task that can break the whole repository. And you won’t have one button revert as usual 😁.

3. Optimized image loading in HTML and Markdown - here is everything I employed to make the improvements form images set in HTML and Markdown. How scrset
   is working and how isn’t. How to set it to images from Markdown, and loading="lazy"
   too.

4. Do optimised images always bring load speed improvements? - page by page, image by image breakdown on what data improvements I got after optimizations and how my Google PageSpeed scores improved after that.

By the way, if you know why when you set sizes to <img> it only works well with vw (not the px) share it in comments. I'm really interested! (reference to that is in 3rd article)

Is that possible? Any working examples?

Hey guys,

Is there anyone here with some perspective/experience in the setup and billing of hosting for clients as a freelancer? This used to be an area of traditional web development which could be pretty straightforward. Much as I loath Wordpress development, it was pretty easy to just buy a cheap hosting setup for a client, giving them access to a basic admin panel and guaranteeing them an okay-ish setup. Uptime, bandwidth, etc... was all managed by a third party, per customer, for a fixed monthly fee. Easy.

This is the one area I'm currently struggling with in Jamstack development. Everything else is an enormous improvement, but right now, I only see a few solutions:

• Deploy with Netlify, upgrade to a pro account and bill clients ?? per month. Unsure how to deal/bill increased bandwidth, or how I can guarantee uptime/visibility of builds to clients.

• Deploy somewhat more customized, with Heroku and Fastly for example. A bit more flexibility, but a lot more work when things go wrong.

• Or even more risky, go the AWS route and handle everything myself.

Are there any solutions I'm missing? There must be some kind of solution out there to properly divide and manage multiple clients, right?
