Speed Up – Lazy Load

Description

This plugin is no longer needed. WordPress has lazy-loaded images since version 5.5 and iframes since 5.7, using the browser’s native loading="lazy" — the same job, with no JavaScript.

It now works against you: replacing each image’s src with a placeholder stops the browser from discovering your largest image early, and that image is the one Core Web Vitals measures as LCP.

You can safely deactivate it. The one thing WordPress does not cover is lazy loading CSS background images. If you rely on that, keep it; otherwise there is nothing left for it to do.

This plugin, implementing “Lazy Load” technique, avoids download of the pictures and iframe that are not displayed on the screen (for example: images in the bottom of the page) until the user will display them. This improves load speed of page and save the bandwidth.

Configurations are not required! You just have to install it and after the plugin does it all, none further action it’s required.
This plugin is very light: only 5 kb.

  1. Upload the complete speed-up-lazy-load folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
How can i deactivate Lazy Load on some areas (eg. page, widget)?

Simply add a string no-lazy-area in the content (eg. in a content of the page write <!-- no-lazy-area -->).

How can i deactivate Lazy Load on some images?

Simply add a string no-lazy in you IMG/DIV tag (eg. in the class, alt, title or file name).

Completely destroyed my page

all images where shown twice suddenly. Also the page speed went slower (!). Not working at all.

Very fast lazy load plugin and the fewest HTTP requests thanks to it!

Didn't work for me

By udegbunamchuks (strictlyonlinebiz) on January 23, 2018

For some reason it kept loading all images on page load instead of on scroll. I had to go back to a3 Lazy Load

Worked.

This is the only lazy load plugin that worked with my Newsmag theme. I wish I could choose the pixels before which an image loads.

Super Light But Super Effective
