Lazy Loading Missing: Loading Images Later
Invisible images do not have to be loaded immediately on the first page call.
Invisible images do not have to be loaded immediately on the first page call Performance errors should be prioritized according to the affected templates and user view. Not every technical warning is equally business critical.
Judge images by their position in the first screen
Images far below the visible entry can often be loaded later. The most important hero or product image, on the other hand, is often required immediately. A blanket loading="lazy" on all images can delay its display. Therefore, check which image resource is actually visible on the first page call.
Example: Recognizing the Result
Illustrative example: Twenty images far below the first visible area load immediately. The large visible hero image, on the other hand, does not belong in the same delay rule.
Limit cause and implement correction
With an empty cache, check when the images are requested, and then scroll through the page. Images loaded later must appear in time and have a reserved space. Test the mobile view separately because the order and visibility there may differ from the desktop.
What makes you recognize a suitable correction
Suitable downstream images are loaded delayed and checked in the network protocol when scrolling. Continue to request visible key images in time.
Classification and boundaries
When is this indication not a clear error?
Lack of lazy loading on the LCP image is often intentional. A blanket rule for all images can worsen the visible loading time.
Lazy Loading Missing After CMS and Cause
Many audit messages can be resolved faster if they are grouped by system, page type and technical cause. CMS indentations are only linked where lazy loading lacks a clearly own cause or fixed route in the respective system.
