Decrease Page Weight and Load Times Using Lazy loading Techniques

Just found an interesting article on using lazy loading techniques in javascript to decrease page weight and page load times. All web developers need to read this because I’ve seen plenty of sites - and know plenty of developers who don’t take into account page weight or load times unless someone complains. This article just takes into account javascript techniques, but developers also need to pay attention to graphics. I’m still surprised that the majority of so called “front-end” web developers I meet and interview don’t know how to optimize graphics or pay attention to load times - especially when it comes to entertainment/rich media sites.
