<h3>Lazy Loading</h3>
<p>Using lazy loading, your images will be loaded only shortly before they are visible to the user.<br />

Load time, page weight, and error rate.</p>


WordPress sites often tend to load slowly, especially after adding more plugins. I use wao.io as cloud-based optimizer to make my blog load more quickly again. The plugin offers all the information and a link to a free test + preview option so you can check out in advance.
