Lazy Loading Images : Reasons to Choose

Tweet

Lazy Loading is a way of loading your content on a webpage, often used for images. It is a thing made using the jQuery, which is an extension of JavaScript in a way. Well, getting on the topic, Lazy Loading is a way to speed up the loading time of your page. It working is not complicated when you look at it from a layman's point of view, but definitely gets complicated once you look at it from the view of a programmer or a developer.

 

What is Lazy Loading?

According to the developers across the world, Lazy loading is a designing technique that increases the efficiency or decreases the loading time of an object or a webpage by declaring a few variables as and when needed. This means that the object is not loaded until it is required by the program or by the end-user. This in turn speeds up the loading time and hence termed as Lazy Loading!

Why Choose Lazy Loading?

As I have already told you that Lazy loading is a way to speed up the loading time of a webpage, it is quite obvious why would one want to choose Lazy Loading over normal loading of images on their webpage. It really decreases the page loading time as it just loads all that is currently visible to the eye and when you scroll down, it shows you the rest of the images, i.e. it loads them at that point!
