7-4 Managing Static Assets

In this lesson, we look at the two different ways we can manage static assets, as well as how we can optimize our images.

NOTE: NuxtImage is currently unstable, and mostly useful for creating responsive images, so I’ve left it out of this lesson.

We take a look at the differences between keeping static assets in a /public folder vs. bundling them inside of the /assets folder.

Finally, we also use a Vite plugin to compress all of our images to save on bandwidth and increase performance.
