    Hi there,

    I’m trying to track down some (touch) srolling performance issues with a customer site and found that Lazy Loader adds quite a bit of performance decrease to the list.
    I found it’s mainly because of a whole bunch of event listeners are added, many of them being non-passive scroll events by the lazysizes js script. The thing is: Lazysizes is not even enabled in the settings, but it’s loaded anyway.
    Is there a way to remove it or at least make the event listeners passive (would be a good idea anyway)?

    Besides that, I found your plugin being the one that works best under several different conditions, so keep it up! ??

    Thanks, great to hear that ??

    Do you mean the checkbox in the post edit view to disable the plugin on a per-post/page-base? If so: Yes, that should also stop the script from being loaded, you are right. I will fix that in the next update ??

    make the event listeners passive (would be a good idea anyway)?

    That is something you would need to propose in the lazysizes repo, because I will not make modifications in the library ??

    Best,
    Florian

    Hey @jjds,

    it took some time, but the beta on Github (https://github.com/florianbrinkmann/lazy-loading-responsive-images/releases/tag/v4.0.2-beta.1 – the lazy-loading-responsive-images.zip) also includes the fix for that and should remove the lazy loading assets from sites where it is disabled.

    Best,
    Florian
