CSS background images load eagerly
Background images set in CSS do not get lazy loaded, so they still download on page load.

What's going wrong
Site owners using page builders and themes report that the plugin does not lazy load CSS background images. The images are hidden with script after the page has already started loading, so browsers still fetch them up front. Some say a release broke background lazy loading that previously worked, and others see every image load in speed test tools. Designers and store owners who depend on background sections want this to actually defer loading. There is room for a fix that handles background images reliably, along with a way to verify it.
