About BJ Lazy Load
The Lazy Load plugin helps your website load faster by only loading images and videos when they are close to entering the browser window. It also works with iframes and can be used to lazy load other images and iframes in your theme. The plugin is compatible with the RICG Responsive Images plugin and has translations available for Russian, Hebrew, Polish, and Norwegian Bokmål.Frequently asked questions
