How to disable the native WordPress lazy load function.
Paste the snippet below into your theme functions.php file:
/**
* Disable WordPress default image lazy load
**/
add_filter( 'wp_lazy_loading_enabled', '__return_false' );For those wondering why I think most sites should disable image lazy load, read this:
Since when does WP lazy loads images automatically? Why would plugins allow you to Enable it if its already happening by default?
It’s been recently done. https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/07/14/lazy-loading-images-in-5-5/
Goddammit!

Hi Johnny,
thanks for sharing this. Unfortunately I tried your code as well on a customers page and it does not seem to work.
