Loads animated Gif images only on demand.
You may be aware, you can now add animated GIF images directly to your pages like any other image. But animated GIF's that load automatically at page load time have a few downsides. They are much larger than regular images so slow the page load time down dramatically. Also having a lot of GIF's animating at the same time after the page has loaded can be very distracting for your visitor.
Huge page load speed boost
Animated GIF images are much larger than a regular image. Loading them all at page load time dramatically increases the overall page load speed.
Automatically generated poster image
When you add an animated GIF to your page, the stack will automatically generate a poster image, to be displayed until the user wants to see the animation.
NEW: 3 Modes
On Demand: None of the animated GIF images are ever loaded at page load time.
Preload: The GIF will be preloaded and cached once all other page content has finished loading, so now plays instantly when clicked.
Autoplay: The GIF will be preloaded and cached once all other page content has finished loading, and instantly start playing
Familiar user experience.
We designed a familiar GIF mark that appears on the poster image to indicate to your visitor that they can click to see an animated GIF. The mark is fully animated to indicate when the animation is loading.
