| 11 | 11 | So my argument is that while lazy loading might help with bandwidth and memory usage, which is not meaningless, it is a considerably poorer user experience for anyone that is not on a high speed connection. As such I believe that any application of lazy loading needs to carefully consider which images it's used for, and that this is highly dependent on context and not a decision that WordPress should be making bluntly for all sites like this. If even Google believed that lazy loading was preferable for all (or even most) contexts, they would have made it the default browser behaviour for loading images. So why should WordPress make this behaviour the default? I believe that at ''most'' WordPress should add a checkbox for enabling lazy loading to the image insert/edit modals. |
