Effortlessly make your lazy loading marketing portfolio website that reflects your brand

Enable Native Lazy Loading Through the Browser Popular browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Opera support native image lazy loading. You only need to add the loading attribute to the targeted images and videos to enable it automatically.

User navigation typically is what triggers lazy loading images. In particular, when a user scrolls down on a page, that tells the browser to load the images that appear there.

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.

With lazy loading, a webpage starts off smaller than its full size and thus loads faster. Speedy web performance has numerous benefits, including better SEO, higher conversion rates, and an improved user experience.

A practical example would be when you land on the home page of an e-commerce site with a link to a cart page/section, and none of the cart pages resources (such as JavaScript, CSS, and images) are downloaded until you navigate there.

To create a page loader, you simply need to: Create your HTML code to indicate what you want to use as your loader, e.g., an image or an icon. Then, style your loader page to your taste. Finally, create a JavaScript script that will fire up when the page is requested and then execute the code it contains.

Enter chrome://flags/#enable-lazy-image-loading in the browsers address bar and set it to Enabled. Enter chrome://flags/#enable-lazy-frame-loading and enable it as well.

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