Hey @sean-h
We will disable the WP lazyloading functionality.

As Stanimir mentioned briefly we will disable the default WP lazyloading functionality when you have it enabled in the SG Optimizer. Make sure you have SGO updated to the latest version to avoid conflicts.
I think it’s important to share a bit more information regarding this. We’ve been developing Lazy Load for WP since 2018 and during that time we’ve been through every single report for incomaptibility and have addressed each one of them. Plus, our implementation is way more flexible and covers things like video, iframe, shortcode generated content, etc.

Hi @sstoqnov
That’s good to know!
@hristo-sg
If something isn’t broken or is already working fine, I do not want to try and fix it, and WordPress shouldn’t either. How hard is it for them to simply add a little on/off toggle in the dashboard? You have done it with SG Optimizer, we don’t have to use all the Optimizer features. Perhaps you want to consider sharing your secret toggle code with them? 🙂
I actually already have a very good idea how long you’ve been working on SG Optimizer and it’s features, I keep track of these things. What I have no clue about is how long WP have been working on their lazy feature and how we will be allowed to configure it. I’ve looked, but found very little useful info.
I do not allow auto plugin and theme updates. (at least it appears WP will offer that function as an option) For SG WP auto core updates I know an auto backup is made first, but even then I’m still nervous about the upcoming core update. Now when I do update plugins/themes, I always read the changelog first, for the prime reason that an author might think to add a feature I’m already implementing by other means. What I have noticed you do when you add a new feature to SG Optimizer is it is set OFF by default. What if I was already using Jetpacks lazy loader and you now add lazy set ON by default?
Speaking of SG WP core auto update. Is there any chance you could consider offering a bit more than 72 hours before a major auto update? Say 1 week? Minor/security releases can stay as is. I have set those to 24hrs, but if something appears very urgent I will do it myself sooner.
