 * I decide to use base64 as placeholder of lazy process, but i worry it make the
   browser compiler the base64 code for each image.
 * Can i set placeholder via css?

 * The placeholder can only be set for the `src` attribute of the image. A very 
   small base64 image should have no impact on the actual loading time of your page.
