Biggest opportunity: Add “lazy”, “specific” and “load” to your wp.org tags. You rank #8, #8 and #11 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

How it's measured →9.2%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 32.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Performance plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,101 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Performance plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Thank you. Works great. This is an excellent idea. Would love to see it also added to “Featured Image” widget.

I like that this plugin does one thing and does it good. Sadly, it does not work for me but I think it’s because of Jetpack adding the lazy loading feature, not the plugin.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ reenie3.2y ago
Hi, It would be great if this plugin could work with elementor’s featured image widget. As it is, it only works with the image widget. But the featured image is the one causing the problems with LCP performance. Which is why i downloaded this plugin and now i will promptly delete it. Why did you not make this work for the featured image too? It makes no sense. otherwise, the plugin works fine on normal images.

It would be awesome to be able to disable the lazy load on the featured image of a blog post (which is an Elementor Pro feature). 😀
