Lazy loading
Also known as lazy load. Category: Software
Lazy loading delays loading content until it is needed, which reduces the initial weight of a page. Content outside the first view loads only when the visitor needs it.
How PhotoRobot uses it
The PhotoRobot Viewer loads only the first frame of a spin when the page opens and the rest when the visitor starts to rotate it. Covered in module B21.
