[Websites] Eager and Lazy Loading
[Website] Eager Loading, Lazy Loading
A simple explanation is this:1. Eager loading: you do everything when asked. Classic example is when you multiply two matrices. You do all the calculations.
2. Lazy loading: you only do a calculation when required. In the previous example, you don't do any calculations until you access an element of the result matrix.
3. Over-eager loading: this is where you try and anticipate what the user will ask for and preload it.
Websites
In the context of a website, you can imagine that there are three ways the image loading could work on this page:- (eager);
- Load only the displayed images on page load and load the others if/when they are required (lazy); and
- Load only the displayed images on page load. After the page has loaded preload the other images in the background in case you need them (over-eager).
