To ensure a smooth loading experience, consider using JavaScript to conceal the image until it has loaded completely.
Code snippet in HTML:
<img id="image" src="...">
JavaScript implementation:
var image = document.querySelector('#image');
image.style.opacity = '0'; //set opacity to 0 (fully transparent)
image.onload = function(){ //once image is loaded, apply changes
image.style.opacity = '1'; //change opacity to 1 (fully visible)
}
By leveraging the opacity property as illustrated above, you can also add animations to enhance the image display process.
CSS transition effect:
#image {
transition: opacity .5s; /* animate opacity for 0.5 seconds */
}
