  • Images not loading at all

    Sadly this plugin didn't work for me. Background images on sections just dont show at all when the plugin is active...

  • Works Great

    This Plugin still works great. Good Code survives updates. I uploaded it, activated it, and wow sped up site that had a Vimeo video as the background of the header. Gained 20+ performance points on Google Page Insights. So simple, easy, and so effective. As of today, I have the current WordPress core, current Elementor Pro and I run Generate Press as a theme. I can't see any visual effect on my webpage, the header seems to load just as fast. Thanks, great plugin.

  • YES!! It works and just knocked 10 of the PSI score!

    YES!! been trying to do this for days. Just using it on Section background images and still works a treat. Used in conjunction with LSCache image caching and lazy loading, Elementor 3.3.1/Pro 3.3.6. Nice work James!

  • The plugin still works for the slider

    I installed the plugin on the 9th of July 2021 and it still works. It allows lazy loading of images in elementor slideshow, and it is a life saver on mobile. It does not work for a single section background, and I do not know why. Anyway, thank you James !

  • It still works, even if support is dead

    This plugin still works. See symisz's solution for overlay background images: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/overlay-background-2/ Unfortunately, on the site I'm working with, this adds way more to the JS execution time than it's worth. I don't see the value in changing the plugin to fix that at the moment.

  • Does not work.

    This plugin does not work anymore it seems. Also the support forum is inactive, and the plugin was last updated over a year ago!
