Jo Franchetti - Intersection Observer - lazy load your images to improve your site's performance
Is your site suffering from a giant payload caused by a large number of images? Intersection Observer may be the API for you! I'll show you how to only load images once they scroll into view with examples from a recent project.
Jo is a web developer advocate for Samsung Internet with 6 years experience as a front end developer. She's worked in various parts of the tech industry from startups, agencies, charities to large organisations.
