Google Chrome introduces native support for lazy loading in its browser (probably starting from version 75)

Lazy loading is a technique that can greatly enhance website performance by loading resources only when they are actually needed. In Addy Osmani's article, he elaborates on how to implement lazy loading in web applications, allowing for faster page loads and improved user experiences. Specifically, the author emphasizes images, which often hold large weights and can slow down page loading if fetched immediately. Lazy loading enables preloading only those images that are currently visible on the screen, reducing the amount of data required at the initial stage. This significantly speeds up the page load time, which can improve conversion rates and decrease bounce rates.
