Will Lazy Loading of Images affect SEO?

crissdinesh · Dec 4, 2020

Hello SEOs,

I’m using lazy load for images. It indexes the featured image in Google images. I do not see all the images of an article in index. Is this normal or a problem because of using Lazy load?

Thanks.

Lazy loading is good for seo though it won’t get you immediate rankings but it’s good in the long run

I use lazy loading and all my images still appear in Google images. Might just be a matter of time.

One of my friends is also facing the same thing.

Google indexing is funny. It almost feels random at times. Your images will get indexed sooner or later.

Google might take more times indexing content loaded with javascript such as lazy loaded images. Keep patience.

Google actually recommends lazy loading, so how does that negatively affect SEO? If anything, it's a positive benefit.

Definitely! But in a good way

Thanks everyone for the help. I'll keep using jQuery and can wait for Google to index the other images.

I love how 75% of the comments are just generic "it's good for SEO bro" with no explanation.

Sounds strange actually, I hope that's not the case with my sites - I haven't checked.

How are you lazy loading? With what plugin etc?

it just fall under technical SEO section. I think it is useful which really optimize your page speed.
