Last time we have seen how to defer the loading of Facebook like box by lazy load script for making page speed much faster.

Optimize the performance of widgets to improve page loading using CSS3

This is one of the best SEO & blogging tip. This widget is fully made by CSS3, that means all images contained by this widget is made only by CSS. Yes that's true, CSS can be written to get an images you want to display on page instead of actual image like .jpg or .png. When you install any third party widget on your page it will call for images to download which causes more requests and extra downloading as well as time; and this mutually affects on your site loading. But this widget will NOT cause any request for images shown by it nor causes downloading of any and hence this improves your site loading.
