WooCommerce + Jetpack: Exclude Image From “Lazy Load”
If you don’t use an “Image Lazy Load” plugin, it’s time you install one. And if you happen to pick Jetpack’s free Lazy Load module, you probably did the right thing.
However, since I installed Jetpack Lazy Load, I noticed a little “jump” in my Storefront theme header section, where in fact there is an image – my Business Bloomer logo. The same might apply to any WooCommerce image: a category thumbnail, a single product featured image, a cart icon in the header, a homepage hero image, and so on.
Thankfully Jetpack has a useful “filter” you can tap into in order to exclude image classes from lazy loading (yes, I found this out today, it’s not that I know everything!). So, here’s the fix. Enjoy ๐

Hello,
Thank you for this amazing script.
I have one question, if I need to exclude several classes using the same function for example:
custom-logo
custom-mobile-logo
category-image
woocommerce-products-header
How should I include them in the below section ?
$classes[] = ‘custom-logo’;
Hello Rodolfo,
Thank you for this snippet, but now (12/2020) “jetpack_lazy_images_blacklisted_classes” is obsolete,
you should use “jetpack_lazy_images_blocked_classes” instead.
Best regards,
Oly
Thanks! This really helped me. You don’t need to specify priority and arguments.
Default priority is 10 and default arguments accepted by an filter is 1.
Hey Remzi, thanks for that! I wanted to use 999 to delay the call. If you add priority, you also need to add the arguments, however I’m not 100% sure about that part. I usually put none or both, it comes easier when I code. Cheers anyway ๐
