How to use SVG as a Placeholder, and Other Image Loading Techniques 🌈

I’m passionate about image performance optimization and making images load fast on the web.⚡️

One of the most interesting areas of exploration is placeholders : what to show when the image hasn’t loaded yet. 🤷🏻‍♂️

During the last days I have come across some loading techniques that use SVG, and I would like to describe them in this post. 🔥


In this post we will go through these topics :

• Overview of different types of placeholders 🗂

• SVG-based placeholders (edges, shapes and silhouettes) 👤

• Automating the process. ♻️
