Lazy/Eager loading LCP evergreen issue

Hi team!

I am concerned about this subject:

  1. It’s been years for some of us begging for a BASIC lazy/eager control for images.
    You know, above-the-fold, PageSpeed, CWV, WPO, SEO.

Best case is reading that “there will be a development request”, but never gets there. This is a logic and reasonable feature, present in other actors like Avada, Elementor or Enfold. I don’t compare, just saying this is already out there.

Lately reading @johanlundgren who is asking for the same I did on a yearly basis.
Just search the forum for “eager” :point_left:

  1. Your BOOST service, good for sure, but perhaps not really needed if you have the necessary skills for scoring 90-100 on your own. Why not opening an easy win to all of us aware of WPO?

Over 5y now I am super-happy building as much as I can get with PRO/Cornerstone, but there are painful waiting-fors:

Largest Contentful Paint image was lazily loaded

You guys did an astonishing job. But there are noticeable gaps, and I don’t say these are necessarily bugs, rather blanks left there. But about my concern, are these pending blanks due to rapid growth or are they a policy?

Honestly and all due respect, I’d like to know if there is some commercial reason behind this, I would not like at all an extra plugin over subscription covering this.
I believe @charlie and team can deliver this with eyes closed, why not next release? :dizzy:

Again, I love what you do and plan to keep working on it, but objectively this is not a crazy selfish idea :nerd_face:

Thank you
