How does lazy loading images improve page speed?

Asked on Oct 17, 2025

Answer

Lazy loading images can significantly enhance page speed by deferring the loading of images until they are needed, reducing initial load time and resource usage.

Example Concept: Lazy loading is a technique where images are only loaded when they enter the viewport, meaning the browser does not download images until they are about to be viewed. This reduces the initial page load time and bandwidth usage, improving performance and user experience, especially on pages with many images.

Additional Comment:

Use the "loading" attribute in the tag with the value "lazy" to enable lazy loading in modern browsers.
Lazy loading helps improve Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) by prioritizing above-the-fold content.
Ensure that lazy loading is implemented correctly to avoid images not loading when they should be visible.
