Nice. I do that as well, but with WebP only (WebPβs header is smaller than JPEG, I remember that Facebook article about their app reconstructing the JPEG headerβ¦).
So WebP-supporting browsers get the tiny base64 preview and the full image loading over it, and JPEG-only browsers get a progressive JPEG (mozjpeg-optimized), with the imageβs dominant color as the background before the JPEG even starts loading.
