where can i identify where this is being picked up from.

i have disabled all other lazy loading functions other than SMUSH, this is including from the advanced theme settings and manually from the page builder settings.

If you have a look now, we have got rid of the slider/ image that was on the home page and the issue still occurs.

this issue isn’t just on the home page, but if you land on any page from an external source, it has the spacing.

disabling any of the lazy loading feature from SMUSH has an impact on the speed insight score.
it’s just funny how the issue is on the lazy loading but that is the main feature that has a good impact on the sight speed.

any other suggestions as to why this could be happening?

The problem seems to be gone when we deactivate lazy loading on smush but the only reason for us to have this plugin is so that we can have a better GTmetrix result.

Hi, I see that the problem is when the lazy loading is activated but what’s strange is that when we deactivate it, it shows a big impact to our page speed score on GT metrix.
when the Lazy loading is activated, we have a better score and when its deactivated, the score drops drastically.

we don’t seem to have any third party plugins that has lazy loading active. we had some images that had the lazy load activated through our page builder but thats switched off too.

Is there anything else we can do.
i have some screenshots to show the GT metrix results

Thanks for the reply.
We have now activated the plugin and the issue has occurred again. This issue is when you first land onto the homepage (Front Page),
please see our site below

as soon as its deactivated, the spacing disappears. when you go onto a different page and then back to the homepage, the spacing disappears. its just when you first land onto the site. this is causing a bad user experience for our site.

Hi, i am also experiencing the same issue.

When i deactivate the plugin, the spacing disappears but then, when i re-activate the plugin, the spacing is back, what shall i do.

when the plugin is activated, but has a big spacing, it gives our page score a better result on google but due to the gap, it causes a bad customer experience on our site.
