What It Does

LazyLoad delays loading of offscreen images and videos until they're about to be visible. This reduces the number of resources loaded up front, dramatically improving load speed and reducing Time to Interactive (TTI).

Works With All Your Visual Content

  • check Product images
  • check Collection banners
  • check Embedded videos (YouTube, Vimeo)
  • check Background images

Responsive image sizes are automatically used when possible to ensure smaller devices get appropriately sized images.

This means mobile visitors aren't downloading desktop-sized images, further improving performance.

Why It Matters

Images and videos are often the heaviest assets on a page. Loading them all immediately is wasteful, especially on mobile.

Faster First Paint

Faster First Paint

Critical content appears more quickly when the browser doesn't have to load everything at once.

Reduced Data Usage

Reduced Data Usage

Many visitors never scroll to the bottom, so why load those resources? Save bandwidth and costs.

Better Core Web Vitals

Better Metrics

Improve LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) and TTI (Time to Interactive) scores for better SEO ranking.

Mobile Optimization

Mobile Friendly

Especially important for mobile users who may have slower connections or limited data plans.
