Lazy loading can be handled by the browser now, rather than having to write our own scripts for it or relying on a 3rd party. This is awesome because, first of all, it's incredibly easy, and also because the browser will look at things like connection speeds and the user's device to decide exactly how to implement it, all without us having to worry about it. There really is no excuse not to take advantage of and get a nice performance boost for your sites.
