Solution 2

You may simply deactivate lazy load effect for specific images or even image formats.

1. Navigate to Extensions > Plugins;

2. Click on ‘TM Lazy Load’ plugin;

3. Open the ‘Settings’ tab. Locate an ‘Exclude images’ option;

   With this option you can exclude certain images to be processed from the plugin. Enter one name each line:

   Example:

   image001.jpg
   thumb_
   .jpg

   The last entry would exclude all JPG images.
