Above the fold images lazy loading when Guest feature is activated!

    I have VPI activated and WP’s native lazy loading deactivated. When I log into my site, all above the fold images are loading instantly, without lazy loading. However, when I am not logged in, all images above the fold are lazy loaded, even those I have specifically excluded. One more thing. I have guest mode activated to maximize PageSpeed Insights scores. When I deactivate this mode the issue goes away. The link below is just an example. I am having the problem site wide and I have tried two different themes, but the problem persists in both. What can be done to make lazy load and VPI function correctly when Guest Mode is activated?

    OK. What I thought of is that if background images above the fold are not handled very elegantly, I could just fake it to make best use of the strengths of the tools I am using. So I split the image I had loaded in the background into two images. Since I was superimposing a full width search bar over the background image, it occurred to mw that I could use that as a separator, with the top image created from the top of the background image above it and that created from the bottom section of the background image below it. The look would be the same, but I would have two images in the foreground instead of one in the background. That seems to work much better. So, until there is a better solution to the optimized management of background images above the fold, this is a workable solution.

    I tested with WebPageTest and the test disclosed that https://ocalahomes.online/wp-content/litespeed/css/64c634f813b342155656254a8696c537.css?ver=3836d was preventing other above the fold elements from being loaded while this file was being executed and that is causing a significant delay that is triggering the LCP loading problem. What is this file? Can it be safely excluded? If not, can it be managed so it won’t impact the loading of other above the fold elements?
