Create your lazy loading comic website

Lazy loading is a technique for waiting to load certain parts of a webpage especially images until they are needed. Instead of loading everything all at once, known as eager loading, the browser does not request certain resources until the user interacts in such a way that the resources are needed.

Is Lazy Loading good or bad? Lazy Loading is generally considered a good practice as it has several benefits.

The issue, however, arises when youʼre trying to optimize for SEO. Lazy loading impacts how search engines crawl your site. If your page doesnʼt immediately load, search engines canʼt crawl the entire page. This means that your content will be ignored or misinterpreted.

So yes, loading speed is important for SEO, but a perfect PageSpeed Insights score is not. As long as your website loads in around 3 seconds, you should be fine with most users.

Using lazy loading for such applications can slow down the scrolling experience since we need to wait until the data loads. This will decrease the application performance and cause user experience issues.

What are the disadvantages of lazy loading? Users may request resources faster than expected: For instance, if a user scrolls quickly down a page, they might have to wait for the images to load. This could negatively impact user experience.

Chrome and Firefox both support lazy loading with the loading attribute. This attribute can be added to elements, and also to elements. A value of lazy tells the browser to load the image immediately if it is in the viewport, and to fetch other images when the user scrolls near them.

An Alternative: Load More Button This continues until there is no more content to load. This is a good alternative to lazy loading if you have content further down the page. It would keep users from getting stuck in the loading process. The Load More button works well with lazy loading.
