By not loading images at all until you get to it instead of guessing if you will. It's already done by some websites using javascript. More work in milliseconds of CPU time is a worthwhile tradeoff for network bandwidth.
- taeric 7y agoGuessing on if you have a fast enough connection to load is literally one of the features called out as hopefully possible with this spec. Such that it is expected that this flag will be controlled by scripts. (Or, turned to always eager if scripts are disabled...) My question is what makes this better than the current script solution? Especially knowing this is intended to be built up with scripts.
- manigandham 7y agoI don't know. I was just commenting on how this is useless for adtech, but I don't see any negatives with giving developers more explicit controls over loading. Loading less data is a good thing regardless of internet connection speed.
- taeric 7y agoMy gut would be that this is going to win back speed lost to adtech. So, not useless. Just not useful to tracking. Which, quite frankly, is already extremely good. My gut would also be a lot of folks think this will be good for tracking sure usage. On both sides of the fence.
