## Description

Lazy load images, YouTube and Vimeo videos, and iframes using [Lazy Load XT](https://github.com/ressio/lazy-load-xt).

Lazy Load XT is the fastest, lightest, fully customizable lazy load plugin in the
WordPress Plugin Directory.

This plugin works by loading the Lazy Load XT script and replacing the `src` attributes
with `data-src` when the content of a post or page is loaded on the front end of
a WordPress site.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

or

 1. Download and unzip Lazy Load XT.
 2. Upload the `lazy-load-xt` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

## FAQ

  Why aren’t my images lazy loading?

Lazy Load XT filters images added to the page using `the_content`, `post_thumbnail_html`,`
widget_text` and `get_avatar`. If your images are added using another function (`
wp_get_attachment_image` for example), Lazy Load XT does not filter them. However,
as of v0.4, you can filter the HTML yourself by passing it to `get_lazyloadxt_html`.

For example, if a theme has:
 echo wp_get_attachment_image($id); Changing it to 
the following would lazy load the image: echo get_lazyloadxt_html( wp_get_attachment_image(
$id) );

### 󠀁[The best for lazy loading](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-best-for-lazy-loading/)󠁿

 [justraveling](https://profiles.wordpress.org/justraveling/) January 8, 2017

We’ve been trying all the available plugins and this performed best together with
Rocket Lazy Load. It brings down significantly the page loading time and doesn’t
break the design. Just a bit too lazy on mobile.

 [stevygee1987](https://profiles.wordpress.org/stevygee1987/) September 3, 2016

I just had to add get_lazyloadxt_html() to the gallery output, after that it worked
perfectly! Much better than the Lazy Load plugin, which stopped working with WP 
4.4!
