Vayu’s Lantern Road
Kai’s temple gallery downloads all 40 paintings at once, so he makes every image loading="lazy", and the hero arrives late. Feel the Lazy Lantern put the first image to sleep, choose how each image should load, then prove the page is light, fast and steady.
1 · Feel the sleeping lantern
Load Kai’s gallery the way it shipped, then with his “fix”: loading="lazy" on all 40 images. Watch the requests and the hero.
2 · Light the first, let the rest wait
Pick the right markup for each image. Wrong picks tell you what the traveller would get.
3 · The page-load test
Kai’s lazy-everywhere page and yours load side by side, then a visitor scrolls to the bottom of the gallery.
New seal earned
Every lantern lights on time
Acharya’s Rule #15Load the hero now, lazy-load the rest, and give every image its size.
An image with no loading attribute is fetched at once, even far below the fold.
A lazy image waits for layout. On the LCP image, keep it eager and add fetchpriority="high".
Real width and height reserve the space, so nothing jumps when an image lands.
