cache background image

[Nico Knoll]

Hey,

it would be lovely if processwire could cache background images as well. Like used in:

<div style="background-image:url(abc.jpg);"></div>

Is there already a way to do this?

Caching images has not much to do with processwire in that way, images are cached by the clients web browser. And once it processed by processwire to make a thumbnail the direct URL to the image is used.

Possibly when your images are generated with PHP you could set some headers to control caching.

But this post on stackoverflow you might find interesting, it covers a way to embed images as base64 data in your HTML or CSS directly.
