I don’t have any image optimization plugin, nor html code optimization, apart from LSCWP. * I’ve just tried a test site with these parameters: Instant Click>> disabled All LSCWP functions>> disabled. * The home page, containing this image, still shows `fetchpriority=high` for this image. And yet there’s no cache at all. So something other than LSCWP is adding this parameter. * I just did a search on the term “fetchpriority” with Regexxer (regexp search) on my theme (Astra), and on Astra Pro which extends Astra’s functionality : NOTHING * I didn’t do it on the WordPress core, as there are too many files to examine and my processor is suffering … * But that doesn’t explain why `fetchpriority=high` isn’t correctly seen by Pagespeed… * Plugin Support [litetim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/litetim/) * (@litetim) * [10 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-with-fetchpriorityhigh/#post-18574757) * [@joy0114](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joy0114/) revert your settings to how best fits you and I will continue debugging it * Plugin Support [litetim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/litetim/) * (@litetim) * [10 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-with-fetchpriorityhigh/#post-18574883) * [@joy0114](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joy0114/) let’s test this code.

I just found a post that describes this exact problem: * [Same issue with fetchpriority=high](https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/discussions/16462) * and above all: [https://issues.chromium.org/issues/419817756](https://issues.chromium.org/issues/419817756) * I don’t think it’s part of LSCWP’s functionality to handle image preloading. From what I’ve seen, LSCWP handles whether or not to defer image loading, which is different from preloading. * I’m surprised that few people have noticed this issue on their WordPress sites! * I’ll probably have to look for a workaround elsewhere, directly in WordPress I suppose. * Do you think so too ?
