Setting width *and* height attributes allows to reserve some space to
avoid layout shift during page loading. Of course, CSS rules set the
height the user chose, while the width is set to 'auto'. But while the
image is loading, it is best to already reserve some width to reduce
layout shift (like making the menu move or even re-render itself into a
"+" menu).
The chosen values for the space reservation are the ones of the default
logo and theme, but it does not really matter as long as they are
coherent. While the image is being loaded, the chosen user height is
still applied and the 'auto' width rule induces a width that respects
the aspect ratio set by the width and height attributes. That could be a
problem if the real logo has a larger height than width, in which case
the layout shift would be increased because of the arbitrary values set
as width and height, but in most cases, this should reduce it.
This also allows to gain some page speed scoring.
Examples:
=# Logo 200 x 100, height set to 50
Before this commit
- while loading: width = 0, height = 50
- once loaded: width = 200 / 100 * 50 = 100, height = 50
-> layout shift of 100 - 0 = 100
After this commit
- while loading: width = 95 / 40 * 50 = 118.75, height = 50
- once loaded: width = 200 / 100 * 50 = 100, height = 50
-> layout shift of 100 - 118.75 = -18.75
=> Shift of 18.75px to the left, way better than shift of 100px to the
right
=# Logo 100 x 100, height set to 50
Before this commit
- while loading: width = 0, height = 50
- once loaded: width = 100 / 100 * 50 = 50, height = 50
-> layout shift of 50 - 0 = 50
After this commit
- while loading: width = 95 / 40 * 50 = 118.75, height = 50
- once loaded: width = 100 / 100 * 50 = 50, height = 50
-> layout shift of 50 - 118.75 = -68.75
=> Shift of 68.75px to the left, kinda the same as a shift of 50px to
the right.
=# Logo 100 x 200, height set to 50
Before this commit
- while loading: width = 0, height = 50
- once loaded: width = 100 / 200 * 50 = 25, height = 50
-> layout shift of 25 - 0 = 25
After this commit
- while loading: width = 95 / 40 * 50 = 118.75, height = 50
- once loaded: width = 100 / 200 * 50 = 25, height = 50
-> layout shift of 25 - 118.75 = -93.75
=> Shift of 93.75px to the left, worse than shift of 25px to the right
but the case of having a 'portrait' logo is considered less common
than having a 'landscape' logo. Ideally, we should choose the
arbitrary values related to the most common aspect ratio.
