Image API for loading images in a browser

Lazy Loading HTML5 images

Back to all posts

The browser support for lazy loading images isn’t quite there yet… dare to dream.

auto - default
lazy - loads the image when it becomes visible based on scroll position
eager - loads the image immediately regardless of scroll position

See the Pen Using loading attribute for lazy loading images by Pete (@peterbenoit) on CodePen.
