How do you add responsive Cloudinary images to Webflow without a build step?

Oversized images can negatively impact the performance of Webflow sites due to the lack of srcset controls for externally hosted images, posing a challenge for leveraging Cloudinary's responsive delivery capabilities. The guide offers two methods to serve responsive Cloudinary images in Webflow: a static srcset embed for manual control on static pages and Cloudinary's JavaScript library for automatic per-element sizing. Each method has its own set of trade-offs, with the static embed method being more suited for images that don't change often, while the JavaScript library is optimal for pages with many images but sacrifices browser preloading efficiency. To implement these methods, users need a Cloudinary account with images uploaded to the Media Library and a Webflow site on a paid plan to utilize the Code Embed element. The guide also addresses common issues that may arise when integrating Cloudinary images in Webflow, such as incorrect URL syntax or JavaScript initialization order, and provides solutions to ensure responsive image delivery is effective across various viewport sizes.
