2. Don't use large fixed width or height element. It can cause trouble.
Let's say an element having width 500px but user is viewing on a device having width smaller than 500px In such cases, use min-width or max-width.

Almost 99% a web page contains images or videos, and in order to make them responsive, use "auto".
If the width property is set to a percentage and the height is set to "auto", the image will be responsive.
In order to improve further, you can use max-width in image so that quality of image will be persist. After all it can also be considered as responsive
