Title: Crazy Lazy Author: pluginkollektiv Published: Dawout 29, 2013 Last modified: Janvye 28, 2021 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/crazy-lazy/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=2464497) This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/crazy-lazy/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2464497) # Crazy Lazy By [pluginkollektiv](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pluginkollektiv/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/crazy-lazy.1.2.0.zip) * [Details](https://hat.wordpress.org/plugins/crazy-lazy/#description) * [Reviews](https://hat.wordpress.org/plugins/crazy-lazy/#reviews) * [Installation](https://hat.wordpress.org/plugins/crazy-lazy/#installation) * [Development](https://hat.wordpress.org/plugins/crazy-lazy/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/crazy-lazy/) ## Description **Warning: _Crazy Lazy_ has reached end of life. WordPress 5.5+ supports [lazy-loading of images in Core](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/07/14/lazy-loading-images-in-5-5/) based on the native HTML `loading` attribute. If you look for an alternative plugin, we recommend to use [Lazy Loader](https://wordpress.org/plugins/lazy-loading-responsive-images/) instead.** _Crazy Lazy_ helps increasing the performance of your blog or website by displaying images efficiently. When a page would usually display some images, _Crazy Lazy_ will prevent those images to load. Only when a user scrolls down the page and reaches the position where an image actually should be displayed, that particular image will be loaded from the server. By loading images only when needed, _Crazy Lazy_ will reducing page loading times and (potentially costly) traffic. This Lazy Load plugin is structured very lean and does not require any settings: activate, done. Depending on the theme or the usage of jQuery _Crazy Lazy_ optionally will utilze a modified version of the jQuery plugin [Unveil.js](https://github.com/luis-almeida/unveil), or the native JavaScript library [lazyload.js](https://gist.github.com/miloplacencia/3931803). ### Styling Placeholders for images can be styled, i.e. like this: ``` img[src*='data:image/gif;base64'] { border: 1px dashed #dbdbdb; } img.crazy_lazy { background: url(/wp-includes/images/wpspin-2x.gif) no-repeat center center; background-size: 16px 16px; } ``` ### Excluding images It’s possible to exclude some images from the lazy loading. This can be achieved by adding a data attribute `data-crazy-lazy="exclude"` or `data-skip-lazy` to the images that should not lazy loaded by the plugin. Alternatively you can add a CSS class `crazy_lazy` or `skip-lazy`. These CSS classes can also be added to the image block. ### Support * Community support via the [support forums on wordpress.org](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/crazy-lazy) * We don’t handle support via e-mail, Twitter, GitHub issues etc. ### Contribute * Active development of this plugin is handled [on GitHub](https://github.com/pluginkollektiv/crazy-lazy). * Pull requests for documented bugs are highly appreciated. * If you think you’ve found a bug (e.g. you’re experiencing unexpected behavior), please post at the [support forums](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/crazy-lazy) first. * If you want to help us translate this plugin you can do so [on WordPress Translate](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/crazy-lazy). ### Credits * Author: [Sergej Müller](https://sergejmueller.github.io/) * Maintainers: [pluginkollektiv](https://pluginkollektiv.org/) ## Installation * If you don’t know how to install a plugin for WordPress, [here’s how](https://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Installing_Plugins). ## FAQ ### Will this plugin lazy load all the images on a page? All images that have been uploaded into your media library, including featured images. ### Will I have to edit any theme template files to make this work? Usually no. If Crazy Lazy doesn’t work out of the box, check your active theme’s` footer.php` template file. There should be a line calling `wp_footer()` in it which is required for Crazy Lazy to work properly. ### Will Crazy Lazy work well with any caching plugins? Crazy Lazy will work with every caching plugin, including our own [Cachify](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cachify/). ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/bdd6d3a0444ba0b213f7ce42cc7fa01ae5f4a0b76f182675c91edb64b0ea2eb6? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Easy and straightforward](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/easy-and-straightforward-7/)󠁿 [geoffreymerck](https://profiles.wordpress.org/geoffreymerck/) Avril 25, 2019 A perfect and light weight.
