Dude how many emails have you collected? That warning appears and it states that the free version hasn’t been tested with that many emails and I suggest either upgrading to the premium version, or moving off of WP Email Capture (with links to download all your data).

It isn’t a holding your site to hostage btw. Just recommended course of action.

Hi There,

I’ve checked the website in Pagespeed Insights (I’m assuming that’s what PSI is) on the page you shared, as well as the console, and I’m getting no errors in the search console on both and it seems to be processing correctly (you’re scoring 99% on Mobile and Desktop, which is more than enough).

The mobile is loading the incorrect version. It’s preloading the 800×354.jpg version of the image which is not being used. Are you using the loaded image or manually entering a URL. It should be more valid to manually enter the URL.

Thanks for the kind words ??

Hi There,

If you click the “Find Image to Preload”, you can set an Image srcset for each page.

Right now, the plugin doesn’t automatically grab the featured image. However the next version (1.3) does. It’s currently doing some testing, you can get that version off Github – https://github.com/rhyswynne/preload-lcp-image-wordpress

Hi There,

If you use the button to select the image, rather than use the URL, it will preload the image as a srcset. It isn’t the plugin’s that chooses which one to load, it is the browser that will pick the most suitable one to load based on the screen size.

As all images will be present, it shouldn’t affect cache. The problem does come if you just manually add a link. Sadly I don’t think there’s anything we can do for this unfortunately.

Hi There!

Okay. I’m a bit baffled, and I think the problem lies with however you connect with the CDN.

When I get the main featured image (which uses the function wp_get_attachment_image_url()), the CDN connection plugin that is used on your site filters the URL from the Image URL on the site to the Image URL on the CDN uses. However, when I use wp_get_attachment_image_srcset() to get the srcset (which is needed in your case as the featured image is smaller), it returns the non-CDN version of the URL. Weirdly, they both use wp_get_attachment_image_src(), which filters both, so there’s something within the plugin you use to setup the CDN that says “ignore it from the srcset”.

I’m marking this as resolved, as you’re going to need to speak to whoever makes that plugin, as I think that’s where the issue is. Happy to assist them in whatever they do :).

It’s because of the CDN. It pulls it in not from the CDN, it pulls the image srcset not from the CDN but your main image is from the CDN.

I think that’s why I didn’t bother with the thumbnails previously, as it was difficult to identify (as people have custom image size(s) which need to be factored in).

Let me have a think about it. May park for a bit and ask a few people to see if there’s a potential solution.

Do you have a URL I can check?

Hi There,

Nice idea ?? – it was mooted before and there were other solutions that defaulted to it, so I’ve never pushed for it really.

However, I have got it in Release Candidate form: was meant to be tested but somebody who requested the featured didn’t answer my emails ?? – I’ve uploaded it to Github. Could you give it a try and let me know – https://github.com/rhyswynne/preload-lcp-image-wordpress? You can toggle the option to default preload the featured image on and off on the options page.

I’ll push it in the latest release if it works as intended ?? – thanks!

Excellent!

I’m going to mark this as “resolved” as your initial query was resolved (and the way the algorithm tends to work it favours ranking plugins with high resolve rates higher), but I do have on my tasklist a way to build a plugin that integrates better with the Webcode Designer

You won’t. RSS Ground will display the images (or they did the last time I checked!).

FWIW, it’s probably something I should be looking to fix, alas I am not sure when I have time within the next month or two.

Hi Racquel,

Okay. I’ve spotted the error. May be a bit of work to implement it.

The issue you are having is that the image is expected to be in the description. The plugin (both free and premium version) outputs the description, which in the feeds you’ve probably seen includes an image, as they’ve been the standard way of doing it since eBay’s listings did it way back in the mid 2010’s.

However, with the feeds built in https://www.mysitemapgenerator.com/rss/ebay.html, it puts the image outside of the description. So the plugin doesn’t see it, and why it’s not displaying.

Whilst it may sound like a trivial fix, I’ll need to find out a way to a) find out how to read the enclosure element within the library within WordPress and b) include it in such a way that makes it easy for you to add and manipulate and c) doesn’t break other feed readers. So it may be some time to implement!

I suspect more than likely it is an addon plugin.

It should have images :-/

How have you added the feed to a page? A block or a shortcode?

If it’s a shortcode can you send it me? If it’s a block can you send over the settings?

I’m curious to see the feed URL you have.

Hi OP,

Thanks for your input.

Whilst it didn’t solve the issue, I think I’ve found a workaround. In essence I’ve created a media library on a separate domain (I’ve approximately 5k images), uploaded them using WP All Import, and then pointing the CSV to look at the new image within the media library.

It seems to have worked now.

Thanks

Rhys

Hi Janice,

Looking at the link you’ve sent it doesn’t appear to be WP Email Capture. Can you confirm that you’ve found another solution?
