What plugin are you using to lazy load the background images on your website?

To implement lazy loading of background images on a website built with Webflow, you can use the Lazy Load Plugin. This plugin allows you to load background images only when they are about to appear in the user's viewport, which can greatly improve page load times and overall performance.

Here's how you can use the Lazy Load Plugin in Webflow:

1. Open your Webflow project and go to the Project Settings panel.
2. Click on the "Custom Code" tab.
3. In the "Head Code" section, paste the following code:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vanilla-lazyload/17.1.0/lazyload.min.js"></script><script>  document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {    var lazyLoadInstance = new LazyLoad({      elements_selector: ".lazy",      threshold: 0, // Load images when they are 0 pixels away from the viewport      callback_loaded: function(element) {        element.classList.add("lazyloaded"); // Add a class to the loaded images for styling or animation purposes      }    });  });</script>

1. Save the changes and publish your site.

Now, you can start using lazy loading for background images. Follow these steps for each background image you want to lazy load:

1. Select the element (e.g., a section or div) that has the background image.
2. In the "Settings" panel, click on the "Background" tab.
3. In the "Image" section, paste the URL of the image you want to lazy load.
4. Add the class name "lazy" to the element. This class will indicate to the Lazy Load Plugin which images to lazy load.

That's it! The Lazy Load Plugin will take care of lazily loading background images as the user scrolls and reaches the elements with the "lazy" class in the viewport.

Using this plugin can improve your website's performance by reducing initial loading times and saving bandwidth, especially for sites with many background images. It also enhances the user experience as the images will load smoothly, appearing as the user scrolls through the page.
