Disable Lazy Load

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 3% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

Older reviewers loved how simply it worked, while the newest one says lazy load is still active after installing, and an earlier reviewer reported the same failure on WP 5.9.

   It might have worked in the past, but it seems this plugin doesn’t work anymore. I’ve checked after installing the plugin and lazy load is still active.

   As usual, Jeff Starr contributes a great utility plugin to the WordPress ecosystem. Install it, activate it, forget it. No settings, no trouble. It just works!

   It’s the fourth plugin I use from this author and it’s another amazing work. I use BJ lazy load, still the best lazy load plugin but unfortunately it’s not updated since many years. Disable lazy load solved the problem to use BJ lazy load plugin and exclude featured image from lazy loading.

   A simple plugin that just works right out of the box.. combined with first-class support too. Perfect all round.
