This plugin adds a loading="lazy" attribute to <img> and <iframe> tags rendered by Camaleon CMS.

• This attribute will be added to tags on all server-rendered pages.
• Existing loading attributes will not be overwritten, so you can still set individual tags to loading="eager" or loading="auto"

This plugin updates the body of the http response using the front_after_load hook provided by Camaleon, unless the page is cached with the Front Cache plugin. Nokogiri is used to add the loading attribute.

• For pages that are not cached, this plugin works as described above.
• For pages that are cached:
  • The affects of this plugin are applied to the cache entry when it is saved using the front_cache_writing_cache hook.
  • There is no processing when reading from the cache.
• Activating/deactivating this plugin will clear the Front Cache.

Just turn on the plugin in your admin settings.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'camaleon_lazy_loader'

And then execute:

$ bundle

This gem uses Nokogiri, which in turn wraps underlying parsers. Some characters can be altered by these parsers when used in element attributes. Known cases include:

• The AMP lightning bolt ⚡
• Characters that are escaped in HTML, such as endash or ampersand

• Fork the repo.
