Who is Ben?
————————————————————————–
In 2010, I made my first WordPress website.
In 2014, I started a WordPress theme business called Compete Themes. I’ve since designed and developed 19 WordPress themes that have been downloaded more than 1.5+ million times. As a WordPress user, developer, and business owner, I can tell you that I know this platform inside-and-out.
Now I’m teaching everything I know.
I’m on a mission to answer all of the web’s WordPress questions, and with the lessons in my videos, you’ll skip hours of frustration and instead learn how to use WordPress in a way that is both simple and enjoyable.

About this Video
————————————————————————–
Lazy loading is a fantastic optimization to speed up WordPress sites. Normally, when someone visits a page on your site, every image on the page will load at once. This is completely unecessary because the visitor probably won’t even scroll far enough down the page to see all of the images.
With lazy loading, images don’t load until they come into the visitor’s screen. This means the page is finished loading much sooner, and you don’t waste server resources serving images that don’t get seen. The images quickly load as the visitor scrolls down the page so they never know the difference.
Adding lazy loading to WordPress is extremely easy, and I recommend using either the OptiMole plugin (free) or the WP Rocket plugin (premium) which I use on competethemes.com.
