Lazy loading is a strategy to identify resources as non-blocking and load these only when needed. It’s a way to shorten the length of the critical rendering path, which translates into reduced page load times.

WordPress core supports native lazyloading since version 5.5+

How does it work?

It replaces actual resources within the img and iframe tags and replaces them only when visible on the browser.
