Running DNN v. 10.01.02 (0)
DNN Blog 6.7.1

Added Lazy Loading to the DNN Blog —

Got lazy loading working nicely in the DNN Blog moduleFigured I’d share what we did in case it helps someone else.

Files We Edited

We only had to touch a couple of template files inside the Blog module:
ListImage.html → controls the images shown on the blog list (archive or home page)
Postbanner.html → handles the top image inside single blog posts

You can find both in:
/DesktopModules/Blog/Templates/

Can check it out here;

In both files, we swapped the regular tag for this version that supports native lazy loading.

You could also completely customize the blog display template to use other frameworks for lazy loading and other features. Love customization! 😎
