| // I rolled this code into a plugin! | |
| // Download plugin Lazy Load Background Images for Elementor. Link is in comments below. | |
| // Or go to https://james.revillini.com/projects/ | |
| // if you don't want another plugin, the code below works (last time I checked) | |
| // this code is pretty rough ... I'm happy to take suggestions to rewrite and make it better | |
| // you should be able to add this to functions.php ... personally I use the Code Snippets plugin | |
| // tested with and without caching implemented and cloudflare DNS | |
| // DO NOT USE IN PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT | |
| // NEW 2020-02-08 ... now lazyloads column backgrounds!!! feedback welcome!!! | |
| // lazyload all background images used in elementor sections AND columns | |
| // add lazy class to all elementor sections and columns | |
| // @TODO figure out why this is not an add_filter situation | |

@Overbord so here's my thinking ... there are many great plugins which already do lazyload for the actual images. There's BJ Lazy Load if you want a free one; and many of the caching plugins such as WP Rocket have it built in. So I have to think about this. It's not a bad idea at all, I would just need to add a bunch of code to try to avoid plugin conflicts.
@jrevillini Sure - the thing is that most of those plugins don't actually make lazy loading work with Elementor. WP Rocket's definitely doesn't - I haven't tried BJ Lazy Load but I'll give it a shot.
@Overbord I use WP Rocket with Elementor and it definitely works for normal images. Are you sure you turned it on in WP Rocket options? I mean, Elementor just adds a bunch of layout stuff and some widget stuff, but in most image-related cases, it's outputting [img] tags which are all generall handled correctly by lazy loading plugins as long as Elementor doesn't load images in via Javascript AFTER the lazyload plugin has run.
@jrevillini Okay I just disabled lazy loading while I messed around with Optimole, then deactivated Optimole, and now lazy-loading's working.
So yeah maybe you're right and it's not necessary.
Hi, as I really don't understand PHP, would you mind telling me how to add some code to exclude lazyloading on section having a specific class ? (or only include the one with a specific class ?)
Background image that are visible when the page is load are first invisible then loaded, which gives the impression of a slower loading, so I would like to ignore my first background image.
Thanks !
Hi @jrevillini,
I have tried the above code using code Snippets & Plugin also it did not working any idea? is this support with latest elementor version?
Is this plugin still supported? I tried to install it, but it didn't work :( I'm using latest Elementor 3.1.3
Not work with the last version of Elementor (3.1.4). :-((
I refactored the code and made it work for Elementor (3.5.5) and Elementor PRO (3.6.2)
add_action('elementor/frontend/the_content', 'filter_the_content');
function filter_the_content($content)
{
return preg_replace(['/elementor-section /', '/elementor-column /'], '$0 lazyelementorbackgroundimages ', $content);
}
add_action('wp_head', 'lazy_load_background_images', 999);
function lazy_load_background_images()
{
if (is_admin()) return;
?>
<script>
jQuery(function ($) {
// Disable lazy-load if Waypoint is not available
if (!(window.Waypoint)) {
$('.elementor-section.lazyelementorbackgroundimages,.elementor-column .lazyelementorbackgroundimages').removeClass('lazyelementorbackgroundimages');
return;
}
// Lazy load images
$('.lazyelementorbackgroundimages').each(function () {
const section = $(this);
new Waypoint({
element: section.get(0),
handler: function () {
section.removeClass('lazyelementorbackgroundimages');
},
offset: $(window).height() * 1.5
});
});
});
</script>
<style>
.lazyelementorbackgroundimages, .lazyelementorbackgroundimages .elementor-widget-wrap {
background-image: none !important;
}
</style>
<?php
}
@Tygovanommen can this code work for elementor image gallery?
i have element like this :
<div class="e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image" data-thumbnail="../uploads/2021/11/L01.png" data-width="450" data-height="450" alt="" style="background-image: url("../uploads/2021/11/L01.png");"></div>
@masoudnkh adjust function filter_the_content from:
return preg_replace(['/elementor-section /', '/elementor-column /'], '$0 lazyelementorbackgroundimages ', $content);
to
return preg_replace(['/elementor-section /', '/elementor-column /', '/e-gallery-image /'], '$0 lazyelementorbackgroundimages ', $content);
I haven't tested it
@Tygovanommen Thanks, i will test and review result to you
Edit of @Tygovanommen code to exclude the first section and improve web vitals:
function filter_the_content($content){
$content = preg_replace(['/elementor-section /', '/elementor-column /', '/e-gallery-image /'], '$0 lazyelementorbackgroundimages ', $content);
$pos = strpos($content, 'lazyelementorbackgroundimages');
if ($pos !== false) { $content = substr_replace($content, '', $pos, strlen('lazyelementorbackgroundimages')); }
return $content;
}
Ran into an issue where inline css was broken due to the "lazyelementorbackgroundimages" class being injected into the class definitions. Also included an update so that the first section will be excluded and the waypoint logic will not kick off until there's some sort of user interaction (this is for images that are just below the fold but would still trigger the lazy load to fire).
`
add_action('elementor/frontend/the_content', 'filter_the_content');
function filter_the_content($content)
{
//return $content;
return preg_replace(['/"elementor-section /', '/"elementor-column /', '/"elementor-background-overlay /', '/"elementor-background-overlay/'], '$0 lazyelementorbackgroundimages ', $content);
}
add_action('wp_head', 'lazy_load_background_images', 999);
function lazy_load_background_images()
{
if (is_admin()) return;
?>
<script>
jQuery(function ($) {
if (!(window.Waypoint)) {
$('.elementor-section.lazyelementorbackgroundimages,.elementor-column .lazyelementorbackgroundimages').removeClass('lazyelementorbackgroundimages');
return;
}
function fireUserIntScripts(){
// Lazy load images
$('.lazyelementorbackgroundimages').each(function () {
const section = $(this);
new Waypoint({
element: section.get(0),
handler: function () {
section.removeClass('lazyelementorbackgroundimages');
},
offset: $(window).height() * 1.5
});
});
document.removeEventListener('mousedown', fireUserIntScripts);
document.removeEventListener('mousemove', fireUserIntScripts);
document.removeEventListener('touchstart', fireUserIntScripts);
document.removeEventListener('scroll', fireUserIntScripts);
document.removeEventListener('keydown', fireUserIntScripts);
}
document.addEventListener('mousedown', fireUserIntScripts);
document.addEventListener('mousemove', fireUserIntScripts);
document.addEventListener('touchstart', fireUserIntScripts);
document.addEventListener('scroll', fireUserIntScripts);
document.addEventListener('keydown', fireUserIntScripts);
});
</script>
<style>
.lazyelementorbackgroundimages:not(.elementor-section:first-of-type), .lazyelementorbackgroundimages .elementor-widget-wrap {
background-image: none !important;
}
</style>
<?php
}

This is working on my site, but can I make a feature request?
While it works for background images, it doesn't work on just normal![]()
images - if it did then a lot of plugins would be compatible with it. For example on my site here, the images in the accordions don't lazy load because they're not background images.
Thanks for the great plugin though!
