5. Implement lazy loading
When you open a long, content-rich web page, all of these elements usually load at once. This process can take a while, especially on slower Internet connections.

Lazy loading takes a more intelligent approach. It delays the loading of non-critical elements, such as images and videos. They will only be loaded when the user actually needs them, as they scroll down the page.

This means that the essential content that appears first (like text and layout) loads faster. In turn, this results in a faster initial page load and a smoother user experience.
