Image Optimization Plugins - Are They Effective?

Various Ways of Coping with a Slow Laptop

I have been coping with a slow laptop for almost two years and it sure doesn't add pleasure or fortune to each day.

During my business years of providing an online service, I purchased devices from a trusted computer company. With those times past, and the need for a new laptop, in September 2020 I went shopping for a new device and ended up with the slowest laptop on the planet, I believe.

Not having any idea of what makes a laptop tick, I purchased the first one I saw. Its external appearance was smart enough and still is. But, the techie stuff inside is far from suitable.

Of course, I could purchase another laptop but then I'll have to go through the agony of proving to Google, and programmes I'm already signed up to, who I am due to a new device not being recognized. No doubt I will make that purchase eventually, but I am doing all I can to get some speed from what I'm working with now.

Image Optimization Plugins

I have spent time checking the necessity of various plugins currently activated on my websites and discovered Optimization plugins. These plugins mean that images do not appear until a visitor scrolls down a page to the position of an image.

I have only recently discovered plugins such as these and thought to enquire from my Wealthy Affiliate friends whether you have experience with this type of plugin?

These plugins are referred to in some cases as 'lazy loading'.

Anything to get some speed into my website until I take the big step of upgrading my laptop!

Thank you.
