I'm not sure I 100% understand the product purpose. Its just blur all the photos on my website? I'm asking to understand and not to criticize =)

@naveh_mevorach hey, No worries! The purpose is to provide a lightweight blurred placeholder (in place of an image whilst an image is loading) to vastly improve a site's perceived performance

@naveh_mevorach @joebell_ Ok got it! great idea! Thanks!

@joebell_ Not completely following. Doesnt the image have to load to make the plaiceholder blurred version? and if the image is loaded for blurring, wouldn't that imply it is also already ready as non-blurred?
