Add an extra` lazyload` class to each container which has css background image in your favorite page editor. ### Preload featured images not working? It calls images set as featured image in the native WordPress post/pages, using ` get_post_thumbnail_id()` and `wp_get_attachment_image_src()`. Make sure you already adds them. If you are using Elementor or other Page’s builders, simply edit the pages with the native WordPress editor to set the featured image. ### This plugin preload the wrong image size in my post? By default, this plugin will be grab the url and preload the `full` image size and` woocommerce_single` for WooCommerce single product pages. You can change that using filter if your theme is uses different `image size`. See example plugin description. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5eba82187f5b3bb898da2e72a5b6ea95b89c72d2f64b9feaa577877a308068a3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[hope to see more updates](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hope-to-see-more-updates/)󠁿 [Sepi](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sepicompanywork/) August 2, 2024 hope to see more updates for this good plugin [ Read all 1 review ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/lazyload-preload-and-more/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Lazyload, Preload, and More!” is open source software.
