+**Tip:** The placeholder will have a slightly different height/width-ratio due to the reduced resolution. 
+Background size *'100% 100%'* will scale it to the height and width of the original image provided to the attributes `height` and `width` of the `div` element.
+The background size *'cover'* would show a slightly enlarged and cropped placeholder that would show a little bit more flicker once the original image is loaded by the `img` element.
