Image Preloading

Image Preloading is a powerful WordPress plugin that helps improve your website’s performance by preloading images in the background. This results in faster page loading experiences, especially beneficial for photo galleries, image-heavy sites, and e-commerce stores.

Features

• Multiple Preloading Methods: Choose between JavaScript preloading, modern Link preload headers, or both
• Unlimited Image URLs: Add as many images as you need
• Modern JavaScript: Uses Promise-based loading with proper error handling
• Performance Optimized: Only loads when needed and uses browser idle time when available
• Security Focused: Proper input sanitization and validation
• Admin Interface: Clean, modern settings page integrated with WordPress admin
• Localization Ready: Translation-ready with proper text domains

Preloading Methods

1. JavaScript Method: Uses modern JavaScript with Promise-based image loading. Compatible with all browsers.
2. Link Preload: Uses HTML <link rel="preload"> tags for modern browsers with native preloading support.
3. Both Methods: Combines both approaches for maximum compatibility and performance.

Use Cases

• Photo galleries and portfolios
• E-commerce product images
• Hero banners and sliders
• Background images
• Any image-heavy content
