Description

Lazy load images, YouTube and Vimeo videos, and iframes using Lazy Load XT.

Lazy Load XT is the fastest, lightest, fully customizable lazy load plugin in the WordPress Plugin Directory.

This plugin works by loading the Lazy Load XT script and replacing the src attributes with data-src when the content of a post or page is loaded on the front end of a WordPress site.

  1. Install and activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

or

  1. Download and unzip Lazy Load XT.
  2. Upload the lazy-load-xt folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

Why aren’t my images lazy loading?

Lazy Load XT filters images added to the page using the_content, post_thumbnail_html, widget_text and get_avatar. If your images are added using another function (wp_get_attachment_image for example), Lazy Load XT does not filter them. However, as of v0.4, you can filter the HTML yourself by passing it to get_lazyloadxt_html.

For example, if a theme has:
echo wp_get_attachment_image($id);
Changing it to the following would lazy load the image:
echo get_lazyloadxt_html( wp_get_attachment_image($id) );

The best for lazy loading

By justraveling on January 8, 2017

We've been trying all the available plugins and this performed best together with Rocket Lazy Load. It brings down significantly the page loading time and doesn't break the design. Just a bit too lazy on mobile.

Love it!

Caused my site to be laggy and increased load times

By advantagen on September 3, 2016

This plugin made my site obviously laggy, and increased my load times by 2 seconds

Great, works with Retina 2x and Jetpack Carousel

I just had to add get_lazyloadxt_html() to the gallery output, after that it worked perfectly! Much better than the Lazy Load plugin, which stopped working with WP 4.4!

Not really impressive as I thought

See this image

It's my main page's slider, it loads blank when installing this plugin

When the page loads at the first time without any cache, it loads with the browser's default font, then suddenly changed into the site's font. Not just the images in "not seen parts", but also images in the view port load blank. I would say this plugin has a huge potential, but at the moment, as it's not updated, it doesn't function as it advertises despite having 5/5 reviews.

Increased the speed of lazy loading soooo much

By hillers54 on September 3, 2016

Got to give this one the big 5 out of 5.
My old lazy load plugin loaded my images very slowly but this plugin is lightning fast.
Thanks for a great plugin guys.

Awesome!

I hope you will continue to improve the implementation. This is a life saver as one of the previous reviewers have said.

Best regards,
