Hello folks!

Big news is coming — lazy load beta version for embedded widgets is here! 😍

It doesn't work as a built-in option yet due to a couple of unresolved matters, but you can adjust your widget manually in order to make it work :)

To turn it on, please add the “data-elfsight-app-lazy” attribute to a <div> element in your installation code.

For example, here’s how the code looks like initially:

<script src="https://apps.elfsight.com/p/platform.js" defer></script>

<div class="elfsight-app-9d3beb9e-4c72-4bd1-8ed6-c192fc9e56c7"></div>

And here’s how it should look like with the attribute added:

<script src="https://apps.elfsight.com/p/platform.js" defer></script>

<div class="elfsight-app-9d3beb9e-4c72-4bd1-8ed6-c192fc9e56c7" data-elfsight-app-lazy></div>

Please keep in mind that it will work only for widgets which are not in the initial viewport (e.g. users have to scroll down at least for a little bit before they reach the widget).

Please do let us know if it worked on your end 🙂

Hello,

Thanks a lot for adding your request!

I do understand your point and I also think lazy load would be a great solution. We'll try to add this task in one of our future updates :)

Thank you for helping us!
