When should I use lazy loading in web development?

Lazy loading is best used for images and videos that are not immediately visible on the screen, improving load times.

Can you give me an example of where lazy loading would be beneficial?

Sure! For instance, on a long webpage with many images, lazy loading ensures that only the images in the viewport load initially.

Are there any downsides to using lazy loading?

Yes, if not implemented correctly, it can lead to a poor user experience, especially if users scroll quickly.

How can I implement lazy loading in my project?

You can use the 'loading' attribute in HTML for images or JavaScript libraries like Intersection Observer for more control.
