Lazy Load your images and iframes, replace Youtube videos by a preview thumbnail.

== Description ==

Lazy Load by WP Rocket displays images and/or iframes on a page only when they are visible to the user. This reduces the number of HTTP requests mechanism and improves the loading time.

This plugin works on thumbnails, all images in a post content or in a widget text, avatars, smilies and iframes. No JavaScript library such as jQuery is used and the script weight is less than 10KB.

You can also replace Youtube iframes by a preview thumbnail to further speed up the loading time of your website.

= Dependencies =

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How can I use native lazyload? =
To use native lazyload on browsers supporting this feature, you need to use the following line:

`add_filter( 'rocket_use_native_lazyload', '__return_true' );`

Browsers that do not support native lazyload will use the JS-based solution as before.

= How can I deactivate Lazy Load on some pages? = 

You can use the `do_rocket_lazyload` filter.

Here is an example to put in functions.php files that disable lazyload on posts:

`
add_action( 'wp', 'deactivate_rocket_lazyload_on_single' );
function deactivate_rocket_lazyload_on_single() {
	if ( is_single() ) {
		add_filter( 'do_rocket_lazyload', '__return_false' );
	}
}
`

= How can I deactivate Lazy Load on some images? = 

Simply add a `data-no-lazy="1"` property in you `img` or `iframe` tag.

You can also use the filters `rocket_lazyload_excluded_attributes` or `rocket_lazyload_excluded_src` to exclude specific patterns.

For iframes, the filter is `rocket_lazyload_iframe_excluded_patterns`.

= How can I change the threshold to trigger the load? =

You can use the `rocket_lazyload_threshold` filter.

Code sample:

`
function rocket_lazyload_custom_threshold( $threshold ) {
	return 100;
}
add_filter( 'rocket_lazyload_threshold', 'rocket_lazyload_custom_threshold' );
`

= I use plugin X and my images don't show anymore =

Some plugins are not compatible without lazy loading. Please open a support thread, and we will see how we can solve the issue by excluding lazy loading for this plugin.

= How can I lazyload a background-image? =

The plugin will automatically lazyload background-images set with a `style` attribute to a `div` element:

`<div style="background-image: url(image.jpg);">`

You can also apply it manually. The element you want to apply lazyload on must have this specific markup:

`<div class="rocket-lazyload" data-bg="url(../img/image.jpg)"></div>`

The element must have the class `rocket-lazyload`, and a `data-bg` attribute, which value is the CSS url for the image.
