We're excited to announce a few updates that help make your website even faster- speed boost incoming! Some changes on the server side, and some on the front side. This isn't a super technical post, but if you'd like to skip reading it: TLDR; your website is faster now.
Images below the fold are now lazy loaded. What does that mean? It means that any images that don't appear in the browser when you first land on a page will not be loaded until the user starts to scroll down.
This helps increase your website speed by reducing the number of requests and the bandwidth needed for loading each page. By delaying image loads below the fold, some websites saw a decrease in initial page weight of 50-75%!!
