I understand there is no UI setting to exclude images but then please provide instead a custom code to add into the theme functions.php, so we can manually exclude image.
It is not possible either since there are a lot of different ways to display images in the template. So every case is different and needs some code customization. There is no single code snippet to do this.
Ok but is this in your plans? because that’s a big problem here, we must be ableto exclude images. There are easy ways to implement this, for instance automatically bypass lazyload if image anme contains “nolazy” => this exist in many things across the web, and i’m sure you can add that in your theme, please consider that in your improvements, we must be able to exclude images from lazyload for reducing CLS on PageSpeed, it’s critical issue
