Performance optimization features to make your site run even faster

Recent updates have been made to improve website loading times by implementing lazy loading for new images by default, meaning images will only load when they appear on the screen rather than all at once when a page is opened. This feature, which previously required custom code, can now be easily managed through individual image settings, allowing users to override the default if needed. Lazy loading is applicable only to inline images, not background images, which should be compressed and optimized separately. Additionally, smoother font loading can be achieved by setting font-display to "swap," and link preloading can enhance the loading speed of prominently linked pages and assets. These changes aim to streamline the process of optimizing image-heavy sites, thus enhancing overall site performance.
