                <h1>Late-load an animated gif and provide a pause button</h1>

<p>Improves initial page-load performance, and helps meet <abbr title="Web Content Accessibility Guidelines">WCAG</abbr> 2 level AA.</p>

<div class=container>
  <img class=img
       src="https://github.com/2kool2/GIF-pause/blob/master/img/static.jpg?raw=true"
       data-gif="https://github.com/2kool2/GIF-pause/blob/master/img/animated.gif?raw=true"
       alt="Tesco's Bake Off Challenge - Challah bread">
</div>

<p>Initially load a static image (.jpg) then once the page has fully loaded, swap it out for the (much) larger animated gif.</p>
<p>A pause control is added which flips between the static image and the animation to meet WCAG 2 level AA. Which states a pause control is a requirement on animations which last longer than 5 seconds.</p>
<p>The animated gif is preloaded into memory then displayed preventing flashes of white occuring.</p>

<p>Sent for accessibility testing to the <a href="http://digitalaccessibilitycentre.org/">Digital Accessibility Centre</a>. Tested as fully compliant 23/09/2016.</p>
