FetchPriority Featured Image

FetchPriority Featured Image is a lightweight plugin that automatically adds the fetchpriority="high" attribute to featured images on your WordPress site. This helps browsers prioritize the loading of these important images, improving your site’s performance and Core Web Vitals scores.

Key Features

• Automatically adds fetchpriority="high" to featured images
• Intelligently applies the attribute only where it matters most:
  • On single posts and pages
  • On the first post of archive pages, blog home, and search results
