-<?php
-/**
- * Deprecated since version 12.8.0.
- *
- * Jetpack’s Lazy Loading feature was first introduced in 2018.
- * At the time, few other tools offered such functionality.
- * It offered a much needed performance boost to WordPress sites,
- * especially those with a large number of images.
- *
- * A couple of years later, a new lazy loading web standard was introduced,
- * and WordPress itself started supporting this standard.
- * Today, modern browsers all support lazy loading,
- * and WordPress itself comes with built-in lazy loading functionality for images and videos.
- *
- * Considering this positive change, Jetpack’s Lazy Loading feature is no longer necessary.
- *
- * @deprecated
- * @package automattic/jetpack
