Feature request: Lazy loading jank reduction
-
Before using SG Optimizer;s lazy loading I had a plugin to do the job (Lazy Loader
By Florian Brinkmann, MarcDK). Allthough not as comprehensive as SG’s one of its benefits (IMO) was that it loaded images about 1 screen ahead (i.e. out of view), rather than loading them when they first enter the viewport as SG appears to do.The benefit of this was that at normal browsing/reading speeds there was never any of the bank associated with an image loading when it was in view.Unless one scrolled fast down a page, there was no visible signs of lazy loading taking place – a much better user experience I think.
The downside is that initial page size is increased a little, but from a user experience perspective I feel this is a worthwhile ‘hit’.
Could this be added (perhaps as a toggle option?)
