Unveil Lazy Load is a WordPress Plugin whitch makes lazy-image-load possible
to decrease number of requests and improve page loading time.
This plugin has the following features compared to another lazy-load plugin:
This plugin uses a lightweight jQuery plugin created by optimizing Unveil.js Unveil.js (https://github.com/luis-almeida/unveil)
less than about 0.6KB in size in order to only load an image when it’s visible in the viewport.
This plugin needs not to load an external dummy image required for lazy-load
because the image is embedded in HTML using data URI scheme technique.
Doesn’t appear to work. All page images load without scrolling.
No fuss, no problems encountered in 18 months of use
It is the fastest lazy load I had installed. Thank you!!
Lives up to the hype. Immediate boost in page speeds from a plugin that doesn’t churn up load times.
My website is fast now
