Lazy loading for Embedded Videos and Iframes
Optimole's Lazy Loading for Embedded Videos and Iframes feature is a smart solution designed to improve your website's performance. When activated, this feature ensures that videos and iframes are loaded only when they are visible to your visitors rather than all at once. This means that it waits until someone is about to watch a video or view embedded content before loading it. This makes your web pages become faster and more responsive, creating a smooth and uninterrupted experience for your visitors.
