vanilla-lazyload VS loading-attribute-polyfill

Compare vanilla-lazyload vs loading-attribute-polyfill and see what are their differences.

vanilla-lazyload

LazyLoad is a lightweight, flexible script that speeds up your website by deferring the loading of your below-the-fold images, backgrounds, videos, iframes and scripts to when they will enter the viewport. Written in plain "vanilla" JavaScript, it leverages IntersectionObserver, supports responsive images and enables native lazy loading. (by verlok)

    If you want to guarantee lazy-load across all (JavaScript-capable) browsers and not just images, I've used Vanilla Lazyload a couple years ago with success, but as this relies on using a data-src attribute, you will get W3C validation errors unless you also set a src attribute. But you don't want to set the src to a real image, because this will nullify the whole point of using the plugin, so set it to a 1x1 pixel "image" that will immediately get replaced by the data-src once the image scrolls into view.

    There are a lot of snippets and scripts like vanilla-lazyload out there that enable lazy-loading via javascript. In almost all cases a data attribute is used to prevent upfront image loading.

    Right, time to put the base64 images to use. What you want to do is to use these as placeholders while the full image is loading. I usually use vanilla-lazyload for this. It is a simple and tiny project that gets the job done. Do mind that if you use Turbolinks you have to make sure that vanilla-lazyload does its thing after Turbolinks is done. If you use Webpacker it will look something like this in your application.js file:

    Browsers that do not support the loading attribute simply ignore it without any side-effects. Fortunately, there is a polyfill at Github available named loading-attribute-polyfill which can be used in those cases.
