Lazy loading question

I’ve had some correspondence with Shiela and created a small demo site for her to test. Scrutiny 9.1.1 released today adds Blocs to the supported systems. If you export a site now with lazy loading enabled Scrutiny should index the images inside the sitemap. This may well apply to Integrity as well when updated.

Is this still the case? Anyone have any new thoughts on this?

I am not 100% sure whether lazy-loading is benefitting me or not, as images do not seem to get “loaded” and not really indexed by Google.

@Brocky120 It’s been years now since I used lazy load, partly because of the index issues but also times when it seemed to make page loading jerky. You seem to have answered your own question though, given what you are experiencing.

I believe a new bric is in the works that may help you achieve your goals without index problems and Google likes it :wink:

Hope you’re well mate :slightly_smiling_face:

Yeah I’ve definitely had issues with images not loading/indexing and turning lazy load off has solved it so wanted to see a few years later if there was a workaround!

Who is making the bric?

I will leave that for the developer to announce, but hopefully it will be available within a few days.

Ah nice! Wondered if I was missing something then. Thanks

It’s not expensive and given the difference it makes I’d say it will be a must have bric to use on every site.

Yeah, Lazy Load comes with its issues. You can run a high risk of layout shift (unless you make placeholders) and it messes up scroll to anchor.

Anyway, here is Sneak Peak! :mag: A close up of the Icon. Thats about all you need, as the whole thing will be highly fine tuned. It’s just drop in your project and forget.
