Lazy Load Images for Magento 2

What is Lazy Load for Magento 2?

High-resolution product catalog images are often the primary cause of slow page loading times. Loading all category images upfront increases bandwidth usage and harms Google Core Web Vitals scores.

Our free Lazy Loading extension for Magento 2 significantly improves initial page load speed and Google PageSpeed Insights rankings by deferring image loading until the customer scrolls the image into view.

Extension Support

Like all other open source projects, sometimes things work and sometimes they don't for one reason or another.

We receive multiple emails & support tickets almost daily asking for help and we would love to help but in most cases, these issues have nothing to do with our extension and mostly caused by lack of basic Magento knowledge.

At MagePal our main focus is designing great Magento Extension and due to our limited resources, we simply can not provide free support for a free product.

Our affordable technical support include help with installation, usage, configuration, and troubleshooting for our Free Community Edition extensions.
