My photos are lazy loading and I want them to load continually in the background. I have lazy loading switched off in smush settings. It is switched off in Jetpack too. How can I force a page to completely load in the background while a visitor is reading the content?

Here is a page example: https://www.prophotonut.com/2019/05/20/sasha-ingham-urban-portraits/

Thank you. :slight_smile:

    Hey Damien! Have you disabled native WordPress Lazy loading? You might want to give that a go by adding the following to your child-theme functions file:

    add_filter( 'wp_lazy_loading_enabled', '__return_false' );

    Cheers,

    Hello Damien

    I support Lee’s suggestion about disabling the native WordPress Lazy loading with the function he mentioned. If you do not have a child theme or do not feel comfortable editing functions file, you can install this plugin:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-lazy-loading/

    Also, I have noticed that you are using Smush, Jetpack and W3 Total Cache. Please be aware that all 3 have Lazy-Loading functionality, so make sure you disable that in all 3 plugins. As a general rule, I do not recommend having more than one caching plugin as they may conflict with one another. You have Smush for images, and regarding page cache you might want to stick to only Jetpack or W3, or you might want to switch to our own Hummingbird plugin altogether, which is included in your membership.

    Feel free to ask any questions you may have in this thread.

    Thank you,
    Alex
