Modern browsers now support lazy loading, and WordPress itself bundles lazy loading features for images and videos. This feature will consequently be deprecated in November 2023. v3.0.1(2y ago)529.3k3GPL-2.0-or-laterPHPPHP >=7.0 Since Aug 25Pushed 1y ago1 watchersCompare [ Source](https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack-lazy-images)[ Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/automattic/jetpack-lazy-images)[ RSS](/packages/automattic-jetpack-lazy-images/feed)WikiDiscussions trunk Synced 1w ago READMEChangelog (1)Dependencies (6)Versions (98)Used By (0) Jetpack Lazy Images =================== [](#jetpack-lazy-images) Speed up your site and create a smoother viewing experience by loading images as visitors scroll down the screen, instead of all at once. Caution This package is abandoned. WordPress Core now uses browsers' native lazy loading, and the code in here conflicts with the Interactivity API added in Gutenberg 16.6. Usage ----- [](#usage) ``` /* * Initialize lazy images on the wp action so that conditional * tags are safe to use. * * As an example, this is important if a theme wants to disable lazy images except * on single posts, pages, or attachments by short-circuiting lazy images when * is_singular() returns false. * * See: https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/8888 */ add_action( 'wp', array( 'Automattic\\Jetpack\\Jetpack_Lazy_Images', 'instance' ) ); ``` Development ----------- [](#development) Running tests requires working `svn`, `composer` and `pnpm` commands. Once these are installed, you install the composer dependencies by running: ``` $ composer install --ignore-platform-reqs ``` ### Generate minified JavaScript [](#generate-minified-javascript) The JavaScript file can be minified from the root of the Jetpack repository: ``` $ cd ../../ $ pnpm build-packages ``` ### Run PHP unit tests [](#run-php-unit-tests) On a local development environment run: ``` $ composer phpunit ``` ### Lint PHP source code [](#lint-php-source-code) The PHP code can be linted from the root of the Jetpack repository: ``` $ cd ../../ $ composer phpcs:compatibility packages/lazy-images $ composer phpcs:lint packages/lazy-images ``` Using this package in your WordPress plugin ------------------------------------------- [](#using-this-package-in-your-wordpress-plugin) If you plan on using this package in your WordPress plugin, we would recommend that you use [Jetpack Autoloader](https://packagist.org/packages/automattic/jetpack-autoloader) as your autoloader.
