Read a lot of threads with similar question but none that can help me.

I have both W3 and Autoptimize.
Lazy load is turned off in setting for both.
Still, my featured images loads lazy on desktop.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

Hi there,

WP 5.7 (?) added browser native lazy loading to images.
It could be that ? If you can share a link to the site i can take a look .

That image does have the loading="lazy" attribute which is what WP adds.
You can turn that off using this PHP Snippet:

add_filter( 'wp_lazy_loading_enabled', '__return_false' );

Thanks, worked. Super!

Time for me to look into creating a child theme.

Thanks again,

Glad to be of help.

Doc contains link to a blank starter child theme.
