Lazy Load Comments

Hi,

Could you please provide the report number and sample page URL where you got lots comment with images ?

Best regards,

I’d rather not reveal the site here. What I can tell you is that some of those posts have hundreds of comments in them. That really inflates the DOM elements on the page and reduces performance.

Essentially, I’m trying to do what this plugin does
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/lazy-load-for-comments/

Is there a way to do it through LSCache?

Hi,

but I thought default WP comment doesn’t allow image attachment , right ?

and WP 5.5 has native lazyload comes in now , that doesn’t work on comment ?

Best regards,

But it loads the Gravatar image, and although I try to mitigate that by enabling lazy load for images, it still inflates the DOM.
I’d like to LL the entire comment section as a whole.

The plugin I linked to does that, but if there’s a way to do it without installing an extra plugin, I’d prefer it.

Hi,

Oh , I see , on my test with default WP theme , it does lazyload the gravatar image.

but for lazyload entire comment section , well , I will pass this onto our devs as feature request

Best regards,

I’ve disabled the native LL that comes with WP 5.5, I’m using LSCache to do that.
Native lazy loading is far too aggressive for my taste because it’ll load images way before they enter the viewport.

Yes, having the comment section lazy loaded would be a great addition to LSCache.
How long would it take for you to implement this feature?

Hi,

I can’t tell, I can only rely this as feature request to devs , but it’s up to devs to assess and decide the necessity and priority for it ??

Best regards,

Lazy load of comment doesn’t solve the issue. To solve it basically comment section needs a pagination, so there is no need to extend Lscache plugin.
