While this is a great tool for any dev wanting to add that extra excitement to a web application, it is disappointing that the tool does not add any jpeg artifacts to the images, for that extra twist when the image finally appears.

I feel that jpeg artifacts go hand-in-hand with slow loading and is a must in any library like this one that wants to stay competitive in the fast-moving world of web application degradation.

I love this sooo much but not enough! It doesn't looks like 10 years before at all!

Can we make this so selective elements load faster than others? Just like the frame around a button for instance. Make that loud super fast, and then make the other parts of the page load really slow from the top down...?

Man I missed dial-up speeds.

Great stuff, just nit picking on how it could be done without adding additional elements into the DOM.

Hide the targeted img tags and hook up onload callbacks for each of the images, which will be used to grab the height when their finished.

Remove the src and move it onto an inlined styled background. Set the img height to 0 and the margin-bottom to the cached height value from the onload callback. Now begin to emulate the comcast-effect by increasing the height and decreasing the margin-bottom.

Would be nice to have an extension or method to add 'under construction' images on some sections.
Example:

Thanks and keep the awesome work.

i think this code library's name should maybe be more inclusive?

I love this project!!

This is so useful! I still think there are many areas which could be improved. Please consider adding a paid teared system where premium members can decrease speeds EVEN MORE than free users!!!

I mean why would you make this? WHY? You really like torturing users.
