On a slow connection a normal page will download and in parallel download images as it can. If you wait for the page to load (as any dial-up user likely will be anyways) and come back you can scroll down and all the images will be ready for you as you read them. But if lazy-loading is in place only the top images will be downloaded. So after waiting awhile for the page itself to load instead of scrolling down and everything being ready you'll scroll down and have to wait even longer for your slow connection to download every image you come by bit-by-bit. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
