## Description

WordPress and modern browsers already lazy-load images natively. This plugin does
not rewrite your HTML. It adds two small things:

 * **Fade-in** – images with loading=”lazy” fade in smoothly once loaded. Respects“
   reduce motion”. Images are always shown after 5 seconds at the latest.
 * **Delayed social scripts** – scripts for X (Twitter), Instagram, Threads, note,
   Hatena Bookmark, Pinterest and LINE embeds and buttons are removed from post 
   content and loaded only when the page really contains such an embed or button,
   shortly before it scrolls into view. The Facebook SDK is loaded the same way.
   Pages without embeds load no external social scripts.

Both features can be switched off under Settings > Infovarious Lazy Load.

### External services

This plugin does not send any data itself and has no server of its own. However,
when a page contains an embed or a button of one of the services below, the visitor’s
browser loads that service’s official script, as it would without this plugin. This
plugin only delays the loading until the embed is about to scroll into view. Pages
without such an embed load none of these scripts.

When the script is requested, the visitor’s browser sends the usual request data(
IP address, browser information and the address of the page being viewed) to the
service, and the service may set its own cookies. What the service does with that
data is described in its own terms and privacy policy.
