# Lazy loading images in HTML

To implement [[Lazy Loading]] to an `<img ... >` tag, add the attrbitue `loading=lazy`

    <img loading=lazy ... >

This will load the image when scrolling is near the viewport, using the [Intersection Observer API](https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2016/04/intersectionobserver)
