Low Quality Image Placeholders (LQIPs) are very small (both in terms of file size and pixel dimensions) images that load very quickly, providing immediate visual feedback while full-resolution images load slowly in the background. They are small-in-file-size enough that it’s feasible to base64-encode and inline them into a web page, minimizing network round-trips and improving page load times.
