smarter loading of images
Permalink
Hello,
Is there a smart way to load images on the user's screen that will help speed up page load time?
I've seen some Concrete5 sites that load images when they become viewable on the monitor. Very nice. And I've also seen images that load grey to colour rather rather top to bottom.
I'm using Zurb's Fundamental theme btw
I'd be grateful for any suggestions
Thanks

What you are describing is called "lazy loading".
For more information, here is an article about lazy loading and a plugin called Lazy Load XT:
