Smush alters the src of my images when lazy loading is enabled

Hi @josewestsussex

Hope you are doing fine.

This is a very odd behavior, actually LazyLoad should not convert an image src to base64 code in any way. Could you help us verify if this is coming from a conflict with another plugin or the current theme?

?Basically, you’ll need to create a backup of the site (in case you need to revert any changes made through this procedure), next, deactivate all plugins, except Smush and switch to a basic theme. Then verify if the issue persists. If it doesn’t then start activating the plugins/theme one by one until you identify which one is causing the conflict.

Please share the results from the conflict test to provide further help in the best way possible.

Kind regards

Luis

Hi @josewestsussex

I hope you are doing well.

Thank you for the information.

As Luis said the Smush > Lazy Load should not convert any image to base64 however it does include a Base64 as a placeholder which will be replaced when the browser is scrolled or in your case as the images are above the fold it should be visible right after the page loads.

The problem here seems to be related to the theme overriding the default WordPress JS jQuery.

Since it is a custom theme can you please confirm:

– Are you using wp_head and wp_footer function?

They are required Smush will use it depending on what you selected on https://monosnap.com/file/vR4UBwaa4TLEqbf76DcvK2bQx4vC2C and I don’t see the Smush scripts being loaded.

I also suggest using native WP jQuery
https://monosnap.com/file/T8O9EZG3HXGjfsMaBonUhDiv56MXLQ

The theme is bringing 1.9.1 which was released in 2013 https://blog.jquery.com/2013/02/04/jquery-1-9-1-released/

Patrick Freitas
