Lazy Loading

A web development technique that delays the loading of non-essential resources until they are needed.

Description

In the context of SEO, lazy loading is a strategy used to optimize page load times by only loading images, videos, and other media as they are needed. This can improve user experience and potentially boost search engine rankings due to faster page load speeds. Lazy loading is particularly beneficial for pages with a large amount of media content, reducing the initial load time and bandwidth usage. By deferring the loading of off-screen elements, it ensures that the most critical content is available to users as quickly as possible. This technique can help improve the performance metrics that search engines use to rank pages, such as First Contentful Paint (FCP) and Largest Contentful Paint (LCP).
