<p>This plugin was inspired by <a href="https://medium.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Medium</a>, it makes images load better on page paint. Providing a ‘blurred’ version of the image at the correct scale, then fading the true image in once loaded.<br />
It works by default on all post featured images leveraging the WordPress post_thumbnail_html filter.</p>
<p>For inline images the plugin searches through your post content and refactors the image for better loading.</p>
<p>NOTE:<br />
You may need to regenerate thumbnails to create the blurred image for each attachment image. We recommend using the <a href="https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/" rel="nofollow ugc">Regenerate Thumbnails</a> plugin.<br />
This plugin is designed to accommodate the image dimension ratio of the full size version. If you are using cropped images you may experience resizing issues.</p>

<p>The plugin works by replacing the original image source with a blank transparent gif via datauri. Reducing page load speed, network requests, and saving bandwidth for host and visitors unless they scroll where an image is in view. The plugin makes use of the fantastic <a href="https://github.com/aFarkas/lazysizes" rel="nofollow ugc">lazysizes</a> javascript library.</p>
