Lazy Load
Magento 2 Extension — User Guide & Documentation
Magento 2.3.x / 2.4.xBy MagepowAdmin + Frontend
1 · Installation
Two ways to install — via Composer or by uploading the app folder. Both end with the same Magento CLI steps.
Before you begin: install the extension on a staging/test server first, and take a full backup of your files and database — especially on a live store.
System requirements
- Magento 2.3.x / 2.4.x installed and working
- PHP, MySQL/MariaDB and web server meeting Magento 2 system requirements
- SSH access to run Magento CLI commands
Method 1 — Install via Composer (recommended)
- Open a terminal in your Magento 2 root directory and require the package:
composer require magepow/lazyload - Run the Magento setup upgrade:
php bin/magento setup:upgrade - Deploy static content (production mode):
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f - Flush the cache:
php bin/magento cache:flush
Method 2 — Manual install (upload app folder)
- Download the extension package and unzip it. Upload the
appfolder to your Magento 2 root so it merges with the existingappdirectory. - Run the following commands from the Magento 2 root:
php bin/magento setup:upgrade php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f php bin/magento cache:flush - Log out of the Admin panel and log back in to refresh access permissions, then clear the cache under
System > Cache Management.
Tip: while configuring the store, disable full-page and additional PHP caches (Varnish, Redis, OPcache/APCu) so changes appear immediately. Re-enable them when you are done.
