What absolute nonsense. It doesn't matter which "async image standard" you use, you're fundamentally limited by my internet connection. I agree completely with GP, I would rather open a page in the background, give it some time to load all of the images and then browse it. Lazy loading is a pain.
Your test case is totally meaningless, the images are under 3kb. Full (non-lazy) image loading is far more important on websites with lots of large images.
- onli 5y agoIf you implement lazy image loading yourself in JS you will see that the implementation actually makes a big difference in how noticeable it is. The browser does a good job with it. Of course your internet connection can limit you, but it just won't do so on regular broadband connections for sound image sizes. You can always construct a theoretical case where it does not work great. But on those pages and connections loading all the images in advance will usually also lead to a bad experience.
