Title: Lazy Load for Comments Author: Joel James Published: 21 Julai 2016 Last modified: 1 Jun 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/lazy-load-for-comments/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=3547560) ![](https://ps.w.org/lazy-load-for-comments/assets/icon.svg?rev=3548143) # Lazy Load for Comments Oleh [Joel James](https://profiles.wordpress.org/joelcj91/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/lazy-load-for-comments.2.0.1.zip) * [Details](https://ms.wordpress.org/plugins/lazy-load-for-comments/#description) * [Reviews](https://ms.wordpress.org/plugins/lazy-load-for-comments/#reviews) * [Pemasangan](https://ms.wordpress.org/plugins/lazy-load-for-comments/#installation) * [Pembangunan](https://ms.wordpress.org/plugins/lazy-load-for-comments/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/lazy-load-for-comments/) ## Description Comments are heavy. A long thread can pull in dozens of avatars, gravatar lookups and reply scripts — all of which the browser downloads before the visitor has even reached them. **Lazy Load for Comments** defers all of that until the visitor either scrolls to the comments area or clicks a button. The result: fewer HTTP requests, faster Largest Contentful Paint and a happier Lighthouse score, without changing how your comment template looks. Version 2.0 is a complete rewrite. It uses the WordPress REST API to fetch the rendered comments on demand and works with both **classic themes** (`comments_template()`) and **block themes** (the core Comments block) out of the box. > > #### Features > > * Lazy-load comments on scroll, on button click, or turn the plugin off without > deactivating it. > * Works with classic themes and block themes (the core Comments block). > * Loads comments inline for search engine crawlers, so indexing and SEO are not > affected. > * Per-post cache of the rendered Comments block — REST renders stay fast. > * Minimum-comment-count threshold so short threads still render inline. > * Customisable load-button text, style and extra CSS classes. > * Clean React settings page under _Comments Lazy Load_. > * No jQuery dependency. Front-end script is vanilla JS and intentionally small. > * Translation-ready. Hooks and filters available for further customisation. **Useful links** * [Plugin website](https://duckdev.com/product/lazy-load-for-comments/) * [Documentation](https://docs.duckdev.com/lazy-load-for-comments/) * [Support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/lazy-load-for-comments/) ## Screenshots [⌊Loading behaviour settings.⌉⌊Loading behaviour settings.⌉[ Loading behaviour settings.

Go to _Plugins Add New_, search for **Lazy Load for Comments** and click _Install now_. 2. Activate the plugin. 3. Open _Comments Lazy Load_ and pick the load method that suits you. **Manual install** 1. Upload the `lazy-load-for-comments` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Activate the plugin from the _Plugins_ screen. 3. Open _Comments Lazy Load_ to configure the settings. For the full configuration guide, see the [official documentation](https://docs.duckdev.com/lazy-load-for-comments/loading-behaviour). ## FAQ ### Does it work with block themes? Yes. The plugin detects whether the active theme is a block theme and either swaps the classic `comments_template()` output or replaces the rendered `core/comments` block, whichever applies. ### Will it work with my caching plugin? Yes. The placeholder rendered server-side is plain HTML, so full-page caches can cache it safely. The actual comments are fetched from a public REST endpoint, which is also cache-friendly. ### How do I change the load method? Open _Comments Lazy Load_ and pick one of **On scroll**, **On button click** or** Disabled** on the _Settings_ tab. ### How do I customise the load button? The button text, the style (inherit your theme’s style or use the plugin’s built- in style) and extra CSS classes can all be set under _Load Button_ on the _Settings_ tab. ### Does it support comment plugins like Disqus or Jetpack Comments? No — this plugin only handles the **default** WordPress comments. Third-party comment systems (Disqus, Jetpack Comments, etc.) replace the comment area entirely, so there is nothing for this plugin to lazy-load. ### How do I disable lazy loading for a specific post or page? Use the `lazy_load_for_comments_can_lazy_load` filter: ``` add_filter( 'lazy_load_for_comments_can_lazy_load', function ( $can ) { if ( is_page( 'contact' ) ) { return false; } return $can; } ); ``` ### Are comments still indexed by Google? Yes. By default the plugin detects search-engine crawlers from the User-Agent and serves them the original (inline) comments markup, so indexing is not affected. You can turn this behaviour off on the _Settings_ tab if you’d rather always lazy- load. ### Where can I get help? The [official documentation](https://docs.duckdev.com/lazy-load-for-comments/) covers most setups. For everything else, the free [WordPress.org support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/lazy-load-for-comments/) is the best place to start. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fe1bfa9f9de47f01677355551b004a52173737b618915675e0b756036b267f66? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Has Potential](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/has-potential-29/)󠁿 [Emory Rowland](https://profiles.wordpress.org/emory/) 24 Februari 2024 But support is unresponsive. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/37d077972318559a07259d6951668e0496cbfec95e5eb85c773c77dc7177d309? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Good, but needs some enhancements](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-fuss-no-muss-3/)󠁿 [itsryu](https://profiles.wordpress.org/itsryu/) 8 Februari 2022 It breaks the Moderation notice. The user just gets sent back to the main page and they don’t know if their comment submitted or not. In my analytics, it states that there is a javascript error, so that needs to be fixed. It also breaks the built in discussion settings of breaking the comments into groups, and the feature of clicking “next” to get the next batch Other than that it works. Simple plugin without options. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0bfe4e26f13c5b965a700860a5d92c262f25e35e7764c61bfe5a6db6f0afb310? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Amazing plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/amazing-plugin-1999/)󠁿 [yastychef](https://profiles.wordpress.org/yastychef/) 27 September 2021 Great plugin, works fine.
