You can include a script that removes the Google PageSpeed Insights remark "Does not use passive listeners to improve scrolling performance"

By default, WordPress add a loading="lazy" attribute to the following images: * images within post content * images within post excerpts * images within text widgets * avatar images * template images using wp_get_attachment_image() But WordPress does not add loading="lazy" for custom images in the header and footer of the site! In this case, our plugin will help you.

The plugin only works with images added via the <img> tag. Disabling LazyLoad on Specific Images If you want to disable LazyLoad on a specific image, you can do so by adding the skip-lazy class to the <img> HTML tag.

LQIP (Low Quality Image Placeholders) - it is function which to enable webpages to load correctly in an orderly manner, displaying ultra small, blurry images while the actual version is loading, which works well with lazy loading in JavaScript.
