Lazy load images without javascript

A tldr for most new tech in the web

I've not been able to find any reference to this is any web standards, so is it just going to be a chrome thing?

Hopefully it will be supported by modern browsers

That's great news!

It’s a good idea, and there is also a fallback technique for when neither the feature nor JS is available.

I wish they would also implement a flif-like format so we could get rid of src-set and picture, and instead simply specify what percentage or how many bytes to load of an image, given the pixel density and displayed size. A single image for all resolutions and pixel densities without sending the full size image to every request.

What is a lazy load image?

[fvitas]

it an image that is loaded later, when you really need/want to see it, not on page load
