Loading of JavaScript resources should be done asynchronously, in a non-blocking manner, so the load time of your webpage will not be affected (it would not be delayed by render-blocking JavaScript). But using of deferring or async loading of jQuery causes lots of problems with jQuery plugins. This plugin replaces default WordPress’s JS loader with a special jQuery loader (jQl), that’s why there are no any errors with jQuery plugins.
It’s highly recommended to use any concatenate plugin, e.g., Fast Velocity Minify or WP Fastest Cache. Please, do not add jQuery to the ignore list, because this plugin fixes “undefined jQuery” errors on the console log. Also, it is allowed to use defer or async parsing of JS files.
It requires WordPress 4.1 and newer.
It is available in English and Russian.

Offers Fine-grained control for manually setting the threshold which images on a Divi page are lazy-loaded.
Includes a fix for a Divi bug that causes incorrect calculation of the lazy-load threshold.
<h4>Background</h4>
To improve page load performance, modern browsers allow for images and other media to be lazy loaded. Lazy loading defers media loading until after the first page render.
For best page load performance, only Below The Fold (btf) media should be lazy loaded. Below The Fold means the part of the page that is not visible on first page load, prior to any scrolling.
Google Page Speed Insights (PSI) will rightly complain if media atf are lazy loaded, and also if media btf are not lazy loaded.
In version 5.7.0, WordPress added a feature that automatically adds the loading=”lazy” attribute to media it considers to be btf. What it considers btf basically means everything after the 3rd media component irrespective of page design.
Divi’s Critical CSS feature attempts to do a better job of determining the fold by analysing the raw page modules’ shortcodes. 
Divi offers different threshold settings of where it considers The Fold to be. eg. ‘Low’, ‘Medium’ or ‘High’. (This setting is found in Divi Settings|Performance|Critical CSS Threshold.)
The exact position of The Fold however, depends on a few factors, perhaps the most obvious is the screen width. Divi’s analysis is approximate and is easily confused by the use of additional custom css.
<h4>How the Lazy-Load-Fix-for-Divi plugin works</h4>
This plugin allows the developer to determine the exact position of The Fold by manually setting it’s location for each page. You can do this after making a simple observation in a browser at the screen widths you want to optimise for.
For example, suppose you decide that you want to optimise for the following screen resolutions:
<pre><code>1200 x 834 - desktop
320 x 820 - mobile
</code></pre>
(these are the approximate resolutions that Google PSI uses)
Then, after completing your page design, inspect your page in a browser that is set to these dimensions<code>(note 1)</code> and identify the first Divi module that is btf.
To manually set the threshold, add one or more of the custom classes to the first Divi module btf.<code>(note 2)</code>.
Allowed values are:
<pre><code>ww-btf-desktop
ww-btf-mobile
ww-btf-tablet (see note 3)
</code></pre>
All media items btf will be lazy-loaded, those atf won’t be.
Repeat in the same way to set up thresholds for each page you want to optimise for.
<ul>
<li>Note that <code>ww-btf-tablet</code> is not implemented in this version and will be treated as <code>ww-btf-mobile</code></li>
</ul>
<h4>Notes</h4>
Note 1 — Set a browser to a specific resolution I suggest using Chrome with Developer Tools enabled (right click, select Inspect). Resizing the window with a mouse shows the window size next to the cursor. 
Note 2 — Add a custom class to a Divi module Edit the module and select the Advanced tab and use CSS ID & Classes 
Note 3 — Tablet devices are not implemented in this plugin version and will be treated as if they were <code>ww-btf-mobile</code>
<h3>Divi BUG</h3>
In addition, this plugin fixes a code bug in Divi relating to the lazy loading of images. (introduced in 4.5.2 and still present in 4.27.6)
The problem occurs in
<pre><code>Divi\includes\builder\core.php @ line #63
</code></pre>
– the remove_filter() call quietly fails because the priority is not specified. This bug results in the WordPress media counting logic to be run twice which defeats the lazy-load threshold when using Divi. 
The WordPress function remove_filter() specifies parameter 3 as <code>int $priority = 10</code>. If the priority is not 10 (in this case it is actually 12), the remove_filter call fails.
I guess Elegant Themes’s priority are now with version 5 so this bug may not ever get fixed. If the bug ever gets fixed, this bugfix part of this plugin will have no effect.
This bugfix is distinct from and will work independently from the custom setting of the custom classes described above.
Note: I contacted Elegant Themes about the bug and was advised to use the plugin: <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-lazy-loading/" rel="ugc">“Disable Lazy Loading”</a> 
which does an excellent job of disabling ALL lazy loading. 
In this case though, this is not the behaviour I want.
My motivation for writing this plugin is to improve the Google PSI score on Mobile and Desktop devices.
I welcome helpful comments and suggestions 🙂
This plugin will have no effect if used on Divi < 4.5 or on WordPress < 5.7.0
