This worked PERFECTLY to remove the loading="lazy" on the featured image which causes the Google page speed test to complain. It would be nice if the "settings" were a little clearer instead of in the Media Settings. I actually removed the plugin twice thinking it didn't work before I noticed the documentation mentioned where the settings for it exist.

Being a passionate minimalist, I recently found and used the plugin "No BS Image Slider" on a client site. But often only the first image would load, not the others. This seemed to be caused by WordPress lazy loading - the images scroll in on a pure CSS animation, and it seems like the WP JS for lazy loading evaluates all but the first slide as not visible - although they soon are. Empty space slides in... I did not want to to kill lazy loading in general, and this was the only plugin I found which offered to suppress it on certain media files. I was a bit hesitant due to the previous bad review, but found no alternative plugin-based solution. So I tried it - and it works fine. My slider pics are now not lazy loaded. The blanket option to completely suppress lazy loading works too, I tried it. Finally, I had a look at the code: Nice modern OO code, nice and lean, no bloat (but does use vendor/composer). Code looked clean to me. Therefore: Recommended!

Suddenly all elements have an imagen ad background. I have like a thousand images an one of them has been elected to be the background for all divs in the web.
