Optimize PNG source sets
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. PNG sourcesets created by responsive loader are currently not optimised. The files are up to four times the size of those handled by img-loader.
This seems to be the case with both the jimp and sharp libraries that responsive loader uses to scale images. JPGs are fine, apparently. responsive-loader/issues/63 responsive-loader/issues/3 To mitigate this it has been suggested to optimise the files after scaling.
Describe the solution you'd like Have Webpack optimise PNGs created by responsive-loader.
Describe alternatives you've considered
From what I understand it should be possible to extend the Webpack configuration in nuxt.config.js but I am too much of a novice to get it to work. It would benefit all users of this module if this worked out of the box.
Additional context -
Faced the same problem. My png file, after decreasing in resolution with responsive-loader, is increased in bytes by 3 times. Paradox. I also want to process pngquant after the responsive-loader.
