How to Use Lazy Load plugin to Speed Up Your WordPress page

The idea behind lazy load is to load only if users have to view them: they will not get to wait for the other elements in the page to load and, so, will be able to open the web page faster. It makes perfect sense to achieve this speed by using JavaScript code that will only load the elements that have to be displayed when the users request them. This way you will be able to make sure that only the important things will be loaded and that everything else will load much more slowly. To make it even better, you can also instruct your computer to do the lazy-loading for you! If you use a web-based WYSIWYG editor, you will find that there are several very good plugins for doing this, which can be used together with your Lazy Load plugin.

Another great thing about Lazy Load is that it’s entirely hidden from sight. You will not see any progress bar or icon whenever you activate the plugin, and it will not interfere with the design of your website at any point. It will hide all elements that are not visible through JavaScript and thus reduce the amount of CPU usage and loading time. This means that you will get a better surfing experience, without having to sacrifice the visual appeal of your website.

There are other options to reducing the loading time such as using external scripts, but the question remains whether you really need to do those extra things. The main problem with scripts is that they have to be downloaded every time they’re used, and they may take up too much space on your hard drive. Moreover, there is always a possibility that your visitor will be able to bypass your JavaScript scripts, thus making loading time even longer. On the other hand, using Lazy Load ensures that you always have one single JavaScript file that is required for each and every web page in your site, so there is no chance that you will encounter problems while loading. And that’s what makes Lazy Load one of the best ways to reduce the loading time of your website!
