Speed-Optimised by Default
Web60 enables lazy loading on every website automatically — images and content load only when needed, keeping your site fast for every visitor.
Page speed is one of the most important factors in both user experience and search engine ranking. Google has explicitly stated that page speed affects where your site appears in search results, and studies consistently show that visitors abandon sites that take more than 3 seconds to load. Web60 optimises every website for speed from the moment it goes live.
Lazy loading is enabled on every Web60 website by default. This means images, videos, and other heavy content below the fold don’t load until a visitor scrolls to them. The result: your page’s initial load is dramatically faster because the browser only needs to download the content that’s immediately visible. As the visitor scrolls, additional content loads seamlessly in the background.
The performance benefits compound with every element on your page. A homepage with 15 images might normally require the browser to download all 15 before the page feels ‘ready.’ With lazy loading, only the 3–4 images visible on screen load initially. The remaining 11–12 load as needed. This is especially impactful on mobile devices, where connections are slower and data plans are limited.
Combined with Web60’s server-side caching, CSS/JS minification, and Irish hosting infrastructure, lazy loading completes the performance picture. Your site loads fast on first visit, even faster on repeat visits, and performs well on Google’s Core Web Vitals tests. All without you touching a single performance setting.
How it works
Three steps to website speed
Lazy loading is enabled on your site from launch
All images, videos, and heavy content are configured for lazy loading automatically.
Images and media load progressively as visitors scroll
Only visible content loads initially. Everything else loads on demand as the visitor scrolls.
Your site feels fast — even on slower mobile connections
Reduced initial download means faster load times on every device and connection type.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is lazy loading and why does it matter?
Lazy loading means images and videos only load when a visitor scrolls to them, rather than all at once when the page opens. This makes your initial page load significantly faster.
Do I need to enable lazy loading myself?
No. Lazy loading is enabled on every Web60 website by default. There’s nothing to configure.
Does lazy loading affect how my images look?
No. Visitors see a smooth, seamless experience. Images appear as they scroll down the page, just as they would on any major website.
Will lazy loading improve my Google ranking?
Yes. Page speed and Core Web Vitals are ranking factors for Google. Lazy loading contributes to faster load times and better scores, which can positively affect your search ranking.
