Sites with big images always encounter slow loading.

Now i introduce to you a brand new utility: preload-images.

This will make your sites faster than ever.

preload-images will build small images for <img> with data-preload like <img src="1.jpg" data-preload>.

And users will see some blur images first, then full clear images will be shown!

How to install it

• Install node.

  > node -v

  > means in your terminal

• Install preload-images.

  > [sudo] npm i -g preload-images

  > preload -v

How to use it

Two steps.

• Modify your html, add data-preload attribute to your images, which you want it to load faster.

• In your project root directory > preload.

How this works

• Load small images first.

• After your html and scripts loaded, load original images; and after those are downloaded to users’ computer, replace small images.

What changed in your project

• Images tags with data-preload attribute will be changed in three attributes data-preload-origin, data-preload and src.

• Small images will be built to preload folder beneath your original images.

• A small peace of script will be appended to your html body at the bottom.
