A plugin to lazyload images, background image, videos, iframes and preload pages for faster navigation.

== Description ==

Easy Optimizer is a simple and lightweight plugin that allows you to improve the performance of your WordPress website by lazy-loading images, videos and iframes. This can help to reduce the time it takes for your website to load, which can lead to improved FCP (First Contentful Paint) and LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) scores, as well as overall performance.

To use the plugin, simply enable lazyload in the plugin's settings, and the plugin will take care of the rest.

### Key Features

#### 1. Lazy Load Images

Lazy loading images is a technique that significantly improves your website's loading times. Instead of loading all images at once when a user visits a page, the plugin ensures that images are loaded only when they come into the user's viewport. This results in faster initial page loading and reduces unnecessary data consumption, leading to improved FCP and LCP scores.

#### 2. Lazy Load Iframes

The Easy Optimizer plugin extends its lazy loading capabilities to iframes. If your website embeds external content like maps or videos using iframes, enabling iframe lazy loading can boost your site's performance by deferring the loading of iframes until they are needed. This helps to prioritize essential content and improves overall user experience.

#### 3. Page Preloading

Preloading pages is another essential feature of Easy Optimizer. By intelligently preloading linked pages in the background while users navigate your site, subsequent page loads become faster and smoother. Preloading reduces the perceived loading time, making your website feel more responsive and enjoyable for visitors.
