+*  Prepare images in HTML for lazy loading by renaming the `src` attribute to `data-src` AND adding the class `lazy`

 If you are asynchronously adding content which contains lazy images then you need to call the function
 `gl.lazyLoader.searchLazyImages()` which will search for lazy images and load them if needed. 
+But in general it should be handled automatically through a `MutationObserver` in the lazy loading function.
