Lazy Loading is cool, but not everywhere!

In the article discussing the issues around lazy loading of product and hero images, the author focuses on the challenges that come with this technique. Lazy loading means that images are only loaded when they are needed, which can speed up page load times but can also lead to problems with SEO and user experience (UX). Often, users may not see all the images, negatively impacting their experience as well as how search engines evaluate the page. Therefore, it is crucial to find a balance between speed and user experience quality. The author suggests that in certain cases, it may be better to load images even if it affects load time rather than using lazy loading, which could harm overall impressions. In the end, the article encourages a thoughtful approach to image loading strategies, aiming to meet the needs of both users and search engines while providing optimal values for both sides.
