    An option to use browser native loading=”lazy” instead of Javascript would be nice.

    Pros
    – Reduces lazy load related javascript
    – Lighthouse friendly
    – SEO Friendly? As the src attribute visible no no-js crawlers in the current JS based lazy-loading is a placeholder.

    Cons
    – W3TC lazy does support handling background images on elements, that’s one missing feature with native lazy loading. Should still be a good tradeoff for people using themes that have no background images.

    Hello @pratham2003

    Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to help!

    Thank you for your suggestion. I’ll mae sure to share this with the team, however, I’ve yet to see the website with no background images, or at least majority of the website are using those.
    I’ll get back to you once I have more information on your suggestion

    Thanks!
