## Beschreibung

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 `<picture>` 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 `<picture
>` tags without extra JavaScript – **Better Performance**: Optimized for Core Web
Vitals by reducing unnecessary image loading – **SEO Friendly**: Improves mobile
user experience and page speed – **Simple Interface**: Easy-to-use block controls
in the Gutenberg editor

**Why Choose Responsive Image Switcher?**
 With over 60% of web traffic coming from
mobile devices, delivering the right image for each screen size is critical. This
plugin eliminates the need for complex CSS media queries or CDN setups, making responsive
images accessible to everyone.
