Can't get enough? I'm regularly sharing snack bite tips and advice on LinkedIn as well.

Wether you're reading a LinkedIn or Twitter discussion, there still is confusion around lazyloading images. Especially when it comes to above the fold images, such as hero images. Let's deal with this for once and for all.

The sad part of third party chat widgets is that it really is up to chat widget providers to improve performance, caring about the performance of their clients' websites and webshops at the same time. But even when they don't, we can make a difference.

I wrote my own chatbot + livechat and this created quite some fuzz on LinkedIn. I even received swear words, luckily just for chatbot testing purposes 😅. But let's talk about the harm of chat bots such as Zopim (Zendesk), and how I visualized this.

Sometimes a LinkedIn post of mine is leading to new questions as well. This time: "How do you get a high PageSpeed score when a site is using HTTP/2?"

Browsers are always trying to optimize as well. Some browsers already support lazyloading of images and iframes, using the loading attribute.
