In a normal (e.g. client) website project, we have an idea on how many menu items will appear in the menu. But, when you’re developing a default theme for Drupal core, any assumptions get thrown out the window. We have no clue how many menu items the user will add.

As of version 9.1, Drupal automatically lazy-loads images by default. This functionality adds a loading="lazy" attribute when outputting an <img> tag. When the browser sees this, it will not download the image until it enters the viewport. This can save your user (and your web host) gobs on bandwidth by not downloading images that will never be used.
