Lazy loading in FooGallery is a feature designed to improve both website performance and visual appeal. It delays image loading until they are visible in the user's browser window, reducing the initial page load time. This results in only the images the user can see, loading, saving bandwidth, and improving the overall user experience. Since loading images can take up significant site resources, FooGallery helps minimize the impact of image loading speeds. In turn, it makes your site faster and more efficient. On the other hand, the animation that comes with lazy image loading can increase user engagement, leading to them staying longer on your site.
