Frequently Asked Questions

How to add my own placeholder image?

  1. Open the wc-lazy-loader.php file in the plugin folder
  2. Scroll down to line 42
  3. Replace the “placeholder-image.png” with a valid place holder image URL from your website.

Why use event handlers and not IntersectionObserver API

Good question! Using event handlers is considered to be one of the most compatible ways to approach lazy loading that works pretty much on every browser. We will, however, be switching to IntersectionObserver API in the next release.

I installed the plugin. Did it make any difference in my performance?
