Plugin "Lazyload" Postpones the loading of images and iframes until they are in the user's scope. This reduces the number of HTTP requests and reduces site load time.
The main difference between this plugin and most similar plugins is SEO-optimization out of the box. The "src" attribute always remains on images, so the crawler will correctly index your site's images, even if JavaScript is disabled.
This plugin belongs to our series of plugins "SPEED" if you want to speed up your site, take a look at other plugins in the same series: Super Cache, Responsive Images PRO

Plugin operation and recommendations:
When other JS-scripts affect images and iframes, the plug-in's algorithm may be broken, in which case the plug-in is not guaranteed to work.
The plugin does some manipulation of images and iframes, so the load on the server increases slightly, but by performing lazy loading this is fully compensated.
The plugin is most effective when the largest number of images and iframes are outside the primary scope (first screen), then PageSpeed Insights can increase significantly.
3 ways to test the work:
- Go to any of the pages of the Store application. Open your browser console and find images (html img tag). The data-loaded = "true" attributes should be added as the page scrolls.
- Go to any of the pages of the Store application. Open the browser console, go to the "Network" fold, select the "Images" type, the list of images in the console should expand as you scroll the page.
- Analyze the site with PageSpeed Insights, the "Delay loading hidden images" metric should be green.
