I think there’s a topic on this here somewhere with a solution outdoorsdev1, but it does require some code. To be honest; although GPSI might not see it, the images are in fact loaded late aka lazy (do a test on webpagetest and you’ll the the are loaded after domcontentloaded has fired) so I would not bother really 😀
They are loaded late in the order so they aren’t content blocking – which is good.
However I’d prefer them not to load at all unless scrolled into view. This would be a killer feature as speed is the main reason I use this plugin. I’ve got a popular post that has 6 or 7 yt vids, and losing about 350kb of images from the initial page load would be really helpful.
Was this code from this thread what you were referencing?
add_filter('lyte_match_postparse_template','lyte_bgimg');
function lyte_bgimg($in) {
return preg_replace('/(<div id="lyte_[^"]*"\s)data-src="([^"]*)"/', '\1 style="background-image:url(\'\2\')" ', $in);
}

that’s the one, yeah.
re AO’s lazy-loading: it uses lazysizes, which does load all images as well even when not in view, more info at https://github.com/aFarkas/lazysizes
