Truly responsive web assets on autopilot

Render visual content in-browser with a set of web components that are natively integrated with Lighter CDN.

lr-img

Simple yet powerful responsive image display component. No DOM scanning overhead, browsers take care of everything. Lazy loading by default. Leave on autopilot or add some guidance: breakpoints, background, quality and more.

                                
                            <lr-img
                            
                                breakpoints="400, 800, 1200"
                                
                                src="https://cdn.acme.com/kitten.jpg"
                            
                            ></lr-img>

lr-video

Flexible replacement for <video/> with thumbnail previews, poster images and all the video player capabilities. Connects to Lighter CDN to serve video in proper format and size.

                                
                            <lr-video
                            
                                autoplay="true"
                                
                                controls="false"
                                
                                src="https://cdn.acme.com/movie.mp4"
                            
                            ></lr-video>

lr-gallery

Customizable gallery. With responsiveness. With or without: slideshow, lightbox, navigation, previews. Without hiccups, headache.

                                
                            <lr-gallery
                            
                                autoscroll="true"
                                
                                controls="false">
                                
                                    <lr-img src="kitten1.jpg"</lr-img>
                                    
                                    <lr-img src="kitten2.jpg"></lr-img>
                                    
                                    <lr-video src="kitten3.mov"></lr-video>
                                
                            </lr-gallery>
