SP Page Builder lazy loading hides real image URL from sitemap tools

Asked by Addington 3 months ago Last activity 3 months ago

Hello,

I think there may be an SEO compatibility issue with the way SP Page Builder outputs lazy-loaded images.

SP Page Builder appears to replace the real image src with a placeholder SVG, while storing the real image URL in a data attribute instead. This means SEO sitemap tools may not detect the real page image, because the actual image is not present as the src image in the page source.

The part I do not understand is that SP Page Builder is already outputting loading="lazy", so native browser lazy loading appears to be in use. In that case, is there a reason the real image URL still needs to be replaced with a JavaScript placeholder?

Is there a setting that allows SP Page Builder to keep the real image URL in src while still using native loading="lazy"?

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for your detailed observation and thoughtful question.

We understand the concern and will forward this feedback to the development team, as supporting pure native lazy loading with clean src output is becoming increasingly important for SEO tooling compatibility.
