How to Increase WordPress Performance through Lazy Load Widgets

TwitterFacebookWhatsAppGoogle+BufferLinkedInPin It

If you are using WordPress as your blog platform and want to increase its performance, The Lazy Widget Loader plugin provides lazy loading for widgets to improve page loading. Use it on slow widgets, especially those where external data is loaded, like widgets from Facebook, Twitter, AdSense and others.

How does the Lazy Widget Loader plugin work?

How does Lazy Widget Loader accomplish its goal? The contents of chosen widgets are loaded in the page’s footer and once the page has loaded completely, these contents are moved to where they should appear. As you postpone loading of these contents until the very last moment, you page will render its contents and will not be affected by those contents in slow widgets that take more time to load.

Note that lazy loading is often understood as to retrieve resources when they come into view, for example if you have an image at the bottom of your page and you want to make sure that this image is not loaded, unless the viewer scrolls down to where that image should appear. But that is not this plugin’s strategy; if you want to be able to load content on sight, take a look at the Itthinx LazyLoader.

Basic and advance plugin option displayed for a widget:

Advanced options can be expanded individually on each widget. These include the option to display a throbber and to set fixed or minimum dimensions. The Lazy Widget Loader can take advantage of the advanced asynchronous loading mechanism provided by the Itthinx LazyLoader for content and widgets. This plugin helps to optimize site speed by greatly improving page load time and bandwidth usage. Instead of deferred loading in the footer, it provides advanced options that allow to load any content only when needed. These include shortcodes that allow to lazy-load content anywhere on a page, the option to load content on sight and an automatic noscript feature that helps to provide alternative content for visitors that have disabled JavaScript.

You can check lazy loading widgets in action on the Itthinx Lazyloader Demo site and download the Lazy Widget Loader plugin for free from the WordPress plugin repository.
