    So I found this project: Thumbor This service is self-hosted, and It allows on-demand cropping, resizing, applying filters and optimizing images. It works incredibly fast and does not require a lot of resources. Take a look, and you will understand how it works.

    Images - ideally use webp format, and keep images as small as possible by loading in only what you need in terms of resolution. Ie, if user is on mobile, and image is displayed in ie 320x160, don't load huge image for desktop and resize it in-browser. This can be achieved by tools like Thumbor.
