A WordPress plugin that brings the native image lazy-loading experience to your website by adding the loading attribute to your images.
The loading attribute allows a browser to defer loading offscreen images and iframes until users scroll near them. loading supports three values:
- lazy: is a good candidate for lazy loading.
- eager: is not a good candidate for lazy loading. Load right away.
- auto: browser will determine whether or not to lazily load.
