SJ77 Posted April 9, 2019 Share 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 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted April 9, 2019 Share 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. AndyF and AlexJ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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. sobrenome, Markus Jung, Rhett and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ77 Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share 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! sobrenome, Rikki and USCJ Digital 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOhIO Posted April 26, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Man Posted April 26, 2019 Share 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/ . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOhIO Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Not only Chrome : Firefox will also integrate the native lazy-loading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runar Posted September 10, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
