Description

What problem does this address?

We are looking for the ability to activate lazy-loading for background images, but with additional support for EXCLUSION rules, similar to what you have for regular tag lazy-loading. This would help us continue to leverage lazy-loading of backgrounds, while allowing pointed exceptions for LCP images.

What is your proposed solution?

Would like to see an extension to lazy-loading exclusions rules which will apply to background lazy-loading as well as normal tags.

Will this feature require documentation? (Optional)

None

Research direction

Start by locating the existing exclusion-rule handling for regular lazy-loading and the entry point for background-image lazy-loading. Confirm how exclusions are represented and applied; done means the same exclusions work for background lazy-loading while preserving the existing behavior, including exceptions for LCP images.
