README

Generate image placeholders of Statamic assets for smoother lazyloading.

Low-Quality Image Placeholders (LQIP) improve the perceived performance of sites by showing a small blurry placeholder image while the high-quality version is loading and are often used in combination with progressive lazyloading.

Features

• Create blurry image placeholders for assets
• Choose between ThumbHash, BlurHash, and Average Color placeholders
• Generate placeholders on upload, or optionally on demand
• Console commands for batch generation

How It Works

The addon ships with a Placeholder Image fieldtype and will automatically generate a small blurry placeholder image for each asset with this fieldtype in its blueprint. In your frontend views, you can access the image placeholder as a data URI string to display while the high-quality image is loading.

Quick Start

1. Install using composer require daun/statamic-placeholders
2. Add a placeholder field to your asset blueprint → assets.yaml
3. Display placeholder data uris using the {{ placeholder }} field inside an {{ asset }} tag
