Lazy Loading Images

No Dependencies

wao.io's lazy loading doesn’t rely on any external dependencies, hence no frameworks or plugins are necessary. Simply activate lazy loading in your optimizations control panel and enjoy a faster loading experience.

No Risk of Jumping Pages

Ever been to a web page that jumps around while images load? Not with wao.io: our lazy loading will prevent your site's layout from jumping around by preloading image placeholders in the size of the original images.

Your customers won't get distracted and can already start reading while the pictures are still loading.

Design Your Lazy Loading Experience

Blurry, low resolution
Transparent placeholders
Colored placeholders

You decide which option integrates best in your overall webpage design. Blurry, low resolution placeholder images will give the user an idea of what to expect before the image is fully loaded. Choose transparent placeholders for a more plain look or a specific color out of your website's color palette.

Load Your Images Spot-On

wao.io's lazy loading takes the user's scroll speed into account. When a user scrolls faster, further away images will be loaded, when a user scrolls too fast, no images will be loaded until the scroll speed is reduced or comes to an end. This becomes very handy if a user is seeking information on the very bottom of a page.
