What It Does

Lazy Load XT helps improve the performance of your WordPress site by lazy loading images, YouTube and Vimeo videos, and iframes. This plugin is designed to be the fastest and lightest lazy load solution available in the WordPress Plugin Directory.

By utilizing Lazy Load XT, the plugin replaces the src attributes with data-src when the content of a post or page is loaded on the front end. This means that images and videos are only loaded when they are visible in the user's viewport, significantly enhancing loading times and user experience.

With its fully customizable options, Lazy Load XT allows you to tailor the lazy loading experience to fit your site's needs, ensuring optimal performance without sacrificing quality.

FAQ

Lazy Load XT filters images added to the page using the_content, post_thumbnail_html, widget_text and get_avatar. If your images are added using another function (wp_get_attachment_image for example), Lazy Load XT does not filter them. However, as of v0.4, you can filter the HTML yourself by passing it to get_lazyloadxt_html.

For example, if a theme has:
echo wp_get_attachment_image($id);
Changing it to the following would lazy load the image:
echo get_lazyloadxt_html( wp_get_attachment_image($id) );
