--- Comment #6 from Daniel Friesen <[email protected]> 2012-01-30 02:05:44 UTC --- On a normally loaded page the browser (in parallel) downloads all of the images on the page. While on a lazy loaded page images are not downloaded until they are in view. So on a normal page everything will be loaded and rendered relatively shortly. When lazy-loaded, the page has finished loading, and the user beings to scroll down the page reading the content images will begin to come in view as their reading the content. In a normal page these would already be loaded. In a lazy-loaded page the browser will start initiating new http requests as the user is reading. As the user is reading content placeholders will be replaced with a full image. This change is visible in the corner of the user's eye and has a similar effect distracting the user from the content they are trying to read as an animated .gif has. So yes, they "flash" in. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
