← Back to BlogLazy loading is a technique where images are loaded only when they enter the user’s viewport—not on initial page load. This approach dramatically reduces initial page weight, speeds up First Contentful Paint (FCP), and improves user-perceived performance. Implement via 'loading="lazy"' in HTML or with JavaScript libraries for tailored control. Especially effective for long-scroll pages, galleries, and blogs, lazy loading minimizes unnecessary network requests and keeps fast performance the default—regardless of how many images your page includes.
