Title: exclude first image in posts Last modified: February 10, 2021 --- # exclude first image in posts * Resolved [Host Domination](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ilithio/) * (@ilithio) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-first-image-in-posts/) * hi, the plugin is great. I don’t know why, but the first image of my page in above the fold, despite having been “excluded” as a class and setting lazy load( excluding the first image of pages) it takes at least 1 second to load. How can I go about completely excluding an image class from Autoptimize caching?

For me it is a big problem… can you help me fix this? - This reply was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by [Host Domination](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ilithio/). * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-first-image-in-posts/#post-14032034) * I can try, but you’ll have to enable lazyload to start with 🙂 * Thread Starter [Host Domination](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ilithio/) * (@ilithio) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-first-image-in-posts/#post-14032044) * ok done! i set “Lazy-load from nth image: 1” and class lazy load: “prima” * i m using WP super cache + cloudflare (rocketloader + css/js/html compress) * thank you a lot for your big support! - This reply was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by [Host Domination](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ilithio/). - This reply was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by [Host Domination](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ilithio/). * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-first-image-in-posts/#post-14032113) * OK, can you try excluding `uploads/2021/02/Screenshot_1.jpg` instead? * Thread Starter [Host Domination](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ilithio/) * (@ilithio) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-first-image-in-posts/#post-14032129) * it is already excluded. It has the “prima” css class which I set in the plugin to exclude from loading.
