More information from the plugin page.
The plugin supports 3 different lazy loading options:
- Lazy loading on Blog posts: Enabling this option will lazy load all the images & YouTube videos on blog posts. It lazy loads images inside the blog posts, YouTube videos (when embedded using iframe tag) inside the blog posts, gravatar images in the comment section, images in the widget areas.
- Lazy loading on Blog pages: Enabling this option will lazy load all the images & YouTube videos on blog pages. It lazy loads images inside the blog page content, YouTube videos (when embedded using iframe tag) inside the blog page content, gravatar images in the comment section, images in the widget areas.
- Lazy loading on Homepage: Enabling this option will lazy load all the images & YouTube videos in the homepage. It lazy loads even if you have a static page set as homepage or a traditional blog style homepage.
You can enable or disable the above options in all combinations as per your requirement.
By lazy loading the images & YouTube videos, you can reduce the loading time of our blog. It also helps to reduce the bandwidth usage (because images, videos are loaded only when they come to the visibility of user).
Manual configuration of lazy loading:
Using this plugin, you can manually restrict a specific blog post/page from lazy loading. This can be done by adding the string <!-- disable-lazy-loader --> on the content of a blog post/page that you want to load normally.
