Reply To: Lazy Load Product Images

Hi Artem,

I’ve disabled the zoom, and now the page size is 1.3MB. With the zoom enabled it was 7MB. That is a big help, and I hope you are going to improve the zoom function soon, as I would like to use this nice feature.

Also, even when the zoom is disabled, upon page load ALL of my image gallery (12 total) load twice: once in small size (300px) & once again in medium size (600px). See it for yourself here: https://demostore.work/TestShop/product/test-products/

I’m glad the large images don’t load anymore, but there is no reason to load ALL images in small & medium size upon page load. Only the main image should load (in medium size) + the 4 visible thumbnails (in small size). The rest of the thumbnails will load only when someone is scrolling through the thumbnails + medium size images should load only if you click on its thumbnail.

Implementing the above will decrease the page size from 1.3MB to about 0.7MB (~50% saving). This is HUGE savings, and it will lead to a much better page performances.

Can you please confirm again that you are going to improve the product page images on the next update? The product page is by far the most important page in any shop, and usually the most common page on a shop website. Making sure it’s fully optimized should be a top priority.

Thank you again for your help in resolving any issue.
