Device Pixel Ratio Cap

A 2x DPR Cap is a best practice in Image Optimization for handling high-resolution "Retina" screens. It involves limiting the resolution of images served to these screens to a maximum of twice the CSS pixel size. This provides excellent visual quality while preventing the excessively large file sizes associated with serving 3x or 4x DPR images, which offer little perceptible benefit.
