It adds a control to the Elementor image widget to remove the Lazy Load attribute.
Normally, if you use Elementor, also the first image that appears in the viewport is lazy loaded, and this is not good for performance.
By removing the lazy load attribute to the first image that appears in the viewport you can improve the LCP which is an important performance metric.
Lazy Load Control For Elementor will be converted to a premium plugin. For a limited time, you can get a lifetime license for ONLY 9 Euro.

Why We’re Converting Lazy Load Control For Elementor to Premium
This plugin was created to fix a performance issue of Elementor after WordPress decided to lazy load all the images by default.
Honestly, we thought soon Elementor would have added the feature provided by this plugin, but it looks like this feature isn’t in their roadmap. This is why we will convert this plugin to PRO, remove it from the repository, and add more features.
There are also other reasons, here why we are converting the plugin to PRO:
- Sustained Development and Support
As technology evolves, maintaining a WordPress plugin demands more resources. From bug fixes and security updates to compatibility with new versions of WordPress and third-party themes or plugins, it takes time and expertise. The premium model will allow us to dedicate more time to making sure the plugin is always secure, up-to-date, and rich in features. - We don’t like Automattic’s recent actions and don’t feel comfortable anymore on the repository.
As they took over the plugin Advanced Custom Fields, they could do the same for any other plugin.
The probability that they will do it with Lazy Load Control For Elementor is practically zero, but we don’t like this atmosphere that has been created.
We want our plugin users to always have access to our plugin, and we want to make ourselves independent from the repository. - Priority Customer Support
One of the most requested services has been more responsive and dedicated customer support. Moving to a premium plugin allows us to offer personalized, priority support with faster response times, helping users troubleshoot issues and make the most of the plugin’s features. - Sustainable Business Model
By converting to a premium plugin, we ensure long-term sustainability. This financial support will allow us to hire additional team members, invest in research and development, and guarantee that we can keep delivering value well into the future.
We understand that this change may come as a surprise, and we want to make the transition as smooth as possible. Current users will have the option to upgrade at a ridiculous price, but they have to do it quickly. We’ll continue offering basic support for the free version for a limited time.
You can get a lifetime license of Lazy Load Control For Elementor for 9 USD.
