Lazy Load for Comments

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 covers most setups. For everything else, the free ww.wp.xz.cn support forum is the best place to start.
