Install

No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:

wp plugin install https://github.com/r-a-y/bp-lazyload-avatars/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
Readme github.com/r-a-y/bp-lazyload-avatars ↗

BP Lazy Load Avatars is a small BuddyPress plugin that only loads avatars if they are visible on screen.

This can considerably save unnecessary network requests and loading times when viewing a BuddyPress page.

How to use?

  • Make sure BuddyPress is already activated and installed in WordPress.
  • Download, install and activate this plugin.
  • Navigate to any page that shows BuddyPress avatars and scroll down to see it in action.
