Speed Optimizations for IP Community 4.x

Optimizations

• Increases page speed and decrease mobile data usage by not loading images in posts until scrolled into view¹
• Similar to 1, but for YouTube and social media embeds^1,2
• Fixes FULLTEXT MySQL searches, decreasing load time, server load, and obviating the need for ElasticSearch in many cases
• Disables forcing of MySQL indices

Notes

1. This plugin adds native lazy loading which is superior and more reliable than the forum's lazy loader.
2. This spares embed-heavy forums from crashing tabs, and can reduce Apple device crashing on forums using Raptive Ads.

Installation Instructions

• Upload the plugin XML under Admin > Dashboard > Site Features > Plugins
