Images Not Lazy Loading

  • Hi all,

    When the Lazy Load feature was initially added to the core WordPress, this feature appeared to be working fine.

    However, I can see from Page speed insights that images are not in-fact being lazy-loaded.

    I recently read something about img tags not being on images being the cause of this but I can’t locate that article. Another has mentioned the function not being called in the footer.

    I have WordPress 5.6.1
    All images are presented as WebP using shortpixel with <picture> syntax. The “Without altering the page code (via .htaccess)” option does not work for us. I have contacted short pixel and they’re suggestion is for us to not use shortpixel image optimisation.

    If anybody can offer some help on this it would be greatly appreciated. Or a way to serve webp without the <picture> tag being added.

    Many thanks
    Matt

  • Images need a width and height for lazyload to be activated.
    wprocket has a function to add the image width and height.
    I’m not sure why some images don’t get these attributes by default.

    Thank you for your suggestion. I’ve given WP rocket lazy load a go but I’m afraid that hasn’t helped ??

    I have spotted that the issue only seems to be affecting the mobile page. Desktop images are deferred (Lazy loaded)
