Ask HN: Page Load Time Feature

2 pointsrumpelstiltskin4 comments

Mashable has a nifty feature where all the images don't load when you log on. Instead, they load up one by one when you scroll down, significantly speeding up the page load time. How do they do this?

You can do this with jQuery, e.g.: http://www.appelsiini.net/projects/lazyload/enabled_fadein.h...

Thanks!

Thanks, I'll give it a try, hoping to make my site faster.

Their site is also painfully slow to begin with. Thank god they are doing something like this.
