load a page step by step as required by viewport -

[jfaerber172]

I know this is not the correct newsgroup for social network and in general the topics should cover only the quite complex html concerns but what I want is just a quite simple html page.

I can't provide any url because relating pages have been deleted by me already.
What I was doing was adding images placed in <p> or <div> tags like in a list.

So when you have hundreds of images all those hundreds of images will be loaded on requesting the link of the page in a browser.

Now I have seen so many examples of platforms where only the first images of the list starting from the beginning on the top are loaded - you will getabout one and a half page loaded until the loading of the page will stop. Then you can scroll down to the end on the bottom and more stuff below willbe loaded ...
you will get a "loading circle" sign comparable to those during a install process of a programm for instance.

Is there a name for this solution?
Are there classes or predefined packages in program languages to handle this?
Can it be done with simple html - or how can it done with php for example?

Perhaps "infinite scroll".

Yes, for instance infinite-scroll[1].

It requires browser side scripting.

You should be aware that not everybody likes this technique, for
instance search engines and myself.
