Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
SJ77 Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 HI I decided I would try out lazy load and went to my ACP to turn it on. I was surprised to be asked if I wanted to rebuild my content. I thought I knew how lazy load works but now I am confused. Why does this need to happen? What exactly will happen if I rebuild my content? What happens if I choose no? can I change my mind later if I choose yes? Can I change my mind if I choose no? I have over 1 million image attachments. Should I be worried? Thank you 🙂
opentype Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 The raw links to the images have to be removed, so they can be loaded dynamically when the user scrolls to them. No way around that. AlexJ and AndyF 2

No way around that. Thanks opentype, I didn't know how it worked. Can you (or anyone else) elaborate a bit more specifically on some of bulleted questions above?
Management Matt Posted April 9, 2019 Management Posted April 9, 2019 Why does this need to happen? - To replace data attributes in the HTML source stored within posts. What exactly will happen if I rebuild my content? - A background task chugs through your posts to replace the data attributes. What happens if I choose no? - New posts will lazy load, old ones will not. can I change my mind later if I choose yes? Can I change my mind if I choose no? - Yes, switch it off and then back on again. I have over 1 million image attachments. Should I be worried? Nope. Images are not touched or rebuilt in any way. Just the HTML markup in the database. Rhett, Meddysong, SJ77 and 4 others 5 2
SJ77 Posted April 12, 2019 Author Posted April 12, 2019 Well I pulled the trigger and I’m LOVING IT!! This is my favorite new feature by far! Since my site primarily operates as an image board this is a tremendous windfall for us!! Wooo! 🥳 Thanks IPB! USCJ Digital, Rikki and sobrenome 3
IOhIO Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) Do you think to cancel this devellopement to use the native lazy load? : <img src="image.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="..." /> Edited April 26, 2019 by IOhIO
The Old Man Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 I don't think Native Lazy Loading is available until Chrome 75 is out in June, and even then that's only 1 browser. Interesting potential though. https://caniuse.com/#search=Lazyload https://css-tricks.com/native-lazy-loading/ .
IOhIO Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Not only Chrome : Firefox will also integrate the native lazy-loading
Runar Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 Lazy loading via the loading attribute is now supported by all major browsers, or 73.68% of all users, with Safari being the exception. I'm a Safari user myself, but I would love to see IPS utilising the built-in method of lazy loading with their custom scripts as a fallback.

We can only leverage these sorts of things once they hit critical mass and in the past this wasn't widely supported yet. Runar 1
