WP Rocket | Disable Automatic Lazy Rendering
A small companion plugin for WP Rocket that switches off its Automatic Lazy Rendering optimization, so the page content is no longer rendered lazily. It also clears the domain cache on activation and deactivation so the change shows up straight away. Suits sites where lazy rendering breaks layout or content. It does nothing on its own and needs WP Rocket installed to have any effect.
Pros
- Turns off one WP Rocket optimization without touching other settings
- Clears the domain cache on activation and deactivation
- Deactivating it restores the default behaviour
Cons
- Only useful alongside WP Rocket
- Does not expose a settings screen
