Broke my block editor

Broke javascript in the Gutenberg block editor. Editing became painfully slow on my site with this plugin installed. It should be taken off WordPress.org

Still working

This plugins works great. For me is the best lazy load. Would be great to have a recent update.

Хороший, но старый

Часто использую на сайтах клиентов. Работает всё четко, но есть опасения, что присутствуют дыры. Вердикт: если WP старый и новый плагин не работает – использовать этот!
