When running a PageSpeed Insights report, common audits that you may encounter are “Defer offscreen images” and “Lazy load third-party resources with facades”.
Both of these recommendations can be easily fixed with WP Rocket, without touching the code!
Load Your Media Files
Only When Needed
WP Rocket includes a smart set of options to tweak the display of images and iframes.
You’ll get stellar results in no time!
LazyLoad Your Images, iframes and videos
Thanks to the LazyLoad option in WP Rocket, you can defer the loading of images (including background images), videos or iframes, leaving them ”off-screen” until the users need them.
As a result, the loading time will be faster, and the page’s interactivity better. You’ll find this option in the Media tab. It’s as simple as it seems!
Exclude the LCP Element
While you should lazy load all the images below the fold, you should always exclude the above-the-fold images from lazy loading.
The risk is to increase the Largest Contentful Paint grade, which measures how long it takes for the largest element to become visible in the viewport.
WP Rocket has you covered: simply use the field in the plugin settings to exclude images and iframes from LazyLoad!
Replace YouTube iframe with Preview Image
In the Media tab on WP Rocket dashboard, you just need to enable this feature to replace the YouTube video iframes with the thumbnails set by YouTube.
This will help you fix the “Lazy load third-party resources with facades” audit.
Enjoy Immediate Results
Applying a lazy loading strategy to your site has many impacts on performance.
It will conserve essential bandwidth, particularly on mobile devices, resulting in a fast-loading page.
On top of that, you should also see better PageSpeed Insights scores with a significant improvement of key performance metrics such as Time to Interactive (TTI) and Speed Index (SI).

Hands down the best WordPress caching plugin on the planet
I ended up deactivating around 7-8 other speed optimization plugins I had because this plugin had it all; lazy loading, CDN, browser caching, script deferring, preloading, image optimization, you name it.

WP Rocket – One plugin to rule them all
WP Rocket does all the heavy lifting for you – caching, CDN, lazy loading, optimizing JS and CSS, image optimization, preload, etc. I highly recommend this WP Rocket.

Great plugin!
All the features of WP Rocket are so straightforward and useful. The most important are "deferred Javascript" "lazy load" and other standard caching options. This plugin took me from the 30's to the 80' on Pagespeed!!!!
