Change banner according to screen size?

Aiming for the best load time performance of my site I wanted to make the homepage banner smarter.

For screens up to 1600px would have to be loaded a banner simpler, lower quality and smaller side size since it does not have to be larger, but for screens larger than that I would bring a banner with more details and better resolution.

insert the description of the image here

Assuming I had a <img id="banner"> like could you make this move to change the src dynamically?

Is this common on websites nowadays?

Yes quite normal. you can handle in CSS or js layers. Nowadays js offers a lot of screen resize support, with components in jquery ui. if you need to change size, BG, and component layout, I suggest you use CSS as follows:

#div{
   width: 600px;
   position: relative;
   margin: 10px auto;
}
@media (max-width:960px){
#div{
     width: 450px;
     margin: 0; 
    }
 }
 @media (min-width:480px){
#div{
     width: 100%;
     margin: 0; 
    }
 }

So you can make " if " species within css for each maximum or minimum screen size. overwriting only what is changed from the pardrão css. Tools like Bootstrap help you manipulate on-screen elements with CSS base already written and quite responsive to standard screen sizes.

If you want to do in javascript:

// convém estar no onload da janela
window.onload = function()
{

  // primeiro tens de sacar a dimensão da janela
  // neste caso a área visível do browser
  var largura = Math.max(document.documentElement.clientWidth, window.innerWidth || 0);

  // depois é brincar com if's e colocar o banner que queiras:

  if(largura>=1600)
  {
    // mete o banner com mais detalhe
  } else {
    // mete o banner com menos detalhe
  }
} // fim do window.onload
