Is A Lazy Image Loading Possible?

What is the impact of lazy loading images on image search traffic using AJAX?

• In an attempt to speed up page load times and improve user experience on a site by lazy loading images, is the site less likely to receive image search traffic? Has there been any analysis done to show what impact this might have?

• Answer:

As this result in increase in the time of page load of the website which is the factor that search engine consider in the keyword ranking.
