It doesn’t need much configuration, yet it works like magic. Thank you for this plugin. The CLS of the website is much better now.

Improved by CLS from 0.26 to 0.0004 with no effort! Using with Divi theme which is very heavy, so any improvement is good.

Junk. Fix your product! I wasted 2 days trying to figure out why my entire site was absurdly slow and why my Wordpress admin kept getting “504 Gateway Timeout” errors that made it entirely unusable! I installed this thing to speed up my site, and you made it 100 times slower . . . and unusable! Great job! I couldn’t even load the plugins page to deactivate plugins one-by-one to identify the culprit. I had to rename each plugin folder via FTP in order to disable each plugin. As soon as I disable “Specify Missing Image Dimensions,” the problem goes away! REMOVE THIS HARMFUL PLUGIN!
