Abstract: This scientific paper explores the effects of lazy loading on the performance of web applications. Lazy loading is a technique employed in web development to defer the loading of non-essential resources until they are effectively needed, thereby optimizing the initial page load times and resource utilization. We’ll review a few important sources addressing the problem, we’ll examine the most important performance metrics and we’ll develop our analysis methodology and experimental setup. This study aims to investigate the impact of lazy loading on various performance metrics, including page load speed, user experience, and overall efficiency of web applications. For comprehensive results, we developed two applications having different architectures (a static website and a website with dynamic content) and we varied the test environment (a high-speed network versus a lower-speed network). The final evaluation would like to conclude about the optimal choice between eager loading and lazy loading in web development and the trade-offs to be made.
