Image Optimization Best Practices with Angular

The Chrome Aurora team has spent the last few years profiling and studying apps across the web to find the most common performance bottlenecks. Images have come up again and again as a main contributor to delays in loading performance. This talk covers the many ways images can slow down your app, as well as the optimizations the Aurora team recommends to avoid these pitfalls. In particular, it will discuss the new Angular image directive and how to use it to speed up your Angular app.
