Hello, @PR,

Lazy loading is a technique used in computer programming and web development to improve the performance and loading times of web pages or applications. It involves deferring the loading of non-critical or secondary content until it is actually needed, rather than loading it all upfront when the page initially loads.

In the context of web development, lazy loading is primarily used for images and other media files, such as videos. Instead of loading all the images on a webpage simultaneously, lazy loading loads only the images that are visible in the user’s viewport or near it. As the user scrolls down or interacts with the page, additional images are loaded dynamically.

We have the Lazy Loading Option in our theme under XStore >> Theme Options >> Speed Optimization >> Image Loading Type (Lazy)

Alternatively, you can use the WP Rocket plugin as well, it also provides the option for the Lazy load of images and media, please refer to our theme documentation here: https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/troubleshooting/how-to-improve-wp-rocket-settings-with-xstore/

Best Regards,
8Theme’s Team
