Hello,

As mentioned in the post, WordPress 5.9 has added some fine-tuning to the way the loading="lazy" attribute works as there were performance issues with some WordPress themes. Note that this was not a major update so most of the functionality is the same as before. If you are using a plugin for lazy-loading all you have to do is check if the same is updated after the release of version 5.9. That would mean that the change mentioned above was reflected and the plugin should have no compatibility issues with the new version. The most popular lazy-loading related plugins have been updated on the same day as the new release in order to accommodate the millions of users which use them.

How does the lazy loading mechanism work with lazy loading plugins? Do we need to remove the plugin or do they work side by side?
