Overview

Implementing lazy loading for images in Webflow boosts site performance by loading images only when they appear in the viewport. This approach cuts down initial load times, making the experience smoother, especially on image-heavy pages. Webflow's built-in features let you enable lazy loading within the designer, so there's no need to write code manually. Grasping the basics of how lazy loading operates and following image optimization best practices, however, can take your Webflow projects to the next level of efficiency.

How to implement lazy loading for images in Webflow?

Step 1: Open Your Webflow Project

Alright, first things first, head over to your Webflow project where you want to add lazy loading for your images.

Step 2: Select the Image Element

Next up, find the image you want to work with. You can either click directly on the image on the canvas or pick it from the Navigator panel. Easy peasy.

Step 3: Open the Settings Panel

With your image selected, look to the right side of the Webflow Designer interface. That's where you'll find the Settings Panel.

Step 4: Enable Lazy Loading

In the Settings Panel, under the Image Settings section, you'll see an option called "Lazy Load". Just check that box to turn on lazy loading for your image.

Step 5: Repeat for Other Images

Now, if you have more images to optimize, just go back and repeat Steps 2 through 4 for each one. It might feel a bit repetitive, but it's worth it.

Step 6: Preview and Publish

Switch to Preview mode to make sure everything looks good and the images load when they should. If all's well, go ahead and publish your project to make the changes live.

Step 7: Optimize Further (Optional)

If you're feeling extra ambitious, you can take it a step further. Consider using modern image formats like WebP and optimizing the image sizes. This will help improve load times even more.
