Lazy loading img & background images using intersection observer
// Lazy loading img & background images using intersection observer
// Reference: https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/performance/lazy-loading-guidance/images-and-video/

// Background image class usign example: <div class="lazy-background"> with added class ".visible" for styling
// Background image style attribute lazy loading example: <div data-bg="image.jpg">
// delete window.IntersectionObserver; // Fallback Testing
