Adding an offset option for lazy loading images

[kfirba]

Hey,

Currently, the image lazy-loading is only loading the images when they are in view. I would love to be able to specify an offset in pixels to load the images something like 500px before they get into view to make things feel a little faster.

I tried to find a setting to do so but could not. Any idea on how I can achieve that?

Thanks

Pretty sure we removed image lazy loading.

@PitaJ Is there any reason you decided to remove it? It is still available on version v1.10.2 (persona theme)

The lazy loading never really worked all that well, and was originally added because we wanted to stop issues with the browser viewport shuffling back and forth if images were being loaded.

Browsers are taking steps to address that now, and so that's why we're stepping out of their way
