vharis Feb 9, 2014 9:08 PM (in response to jyeager11)You can try the infinite scroliing mechanism - i.e : Load a page only when users scrolls into it

Either way, pre-loading is still the best methodto avoid big pictures taking time to load.

Thanks for the links guys, I'll check those out in a minute. But to answer this quote, this isn't so much about big pictures taking too much time to load, as it is limiting the total number of bytes being downloaded unnecessarily.
(If anything, what I'm asking would make it even MORE annoying to wait for pictures to load, since they wouldn't start to until they scroll into view.)
In other words, if 90% of the page is never seen, then it doesn't need to be loaded. I just assumed this was why these new websites don't display image content until it scrolls into view.
