Now that much of the heavier media is sourced via a call to G-Drive, it might be useful to have some lazy loading functionality. This would allow the page's text to load first, provide a smoother experience when navigating through the posts, and would look neater compared to empty frames.
However, there is also the option to use native lazy loading, which is included in most modern browsers (excluding Safari). This gem https://github.com/gildesmarais/jekyll-loading-lazy enables this for img and iframe tags with little configuration (this could also be done manually).

One option may be https://github.com/verlok/vanilla-lazyload for a more robust implementation.
