Add option to disable lazyload for content above the fold #41

Can you add a feature to selectively, ie a shortcode option, to disable lazy load?

This is to keep PageSpeed happy as it will reduce LCP.

When on mobile by default LYTE's are replaced with the real YTembed soon, so that means that the LCP is the YT video itself. ticking the "cache thumbnails locally" will change LYTE's behavior for mobile into the one for desktop; not loading the YT vid until being clicked on so that would help LCP.

For the images in a LYTE vid (placeholder) are loaded as background image, so they always indeed load with somewhat lower priority. disabling LYTE as a whole for above the fold videos would have an even bigger impact on LCP (as described in previous paragraph), so not sure if there's a (somewhat simple) solution for that.

Thank you very much for such a fast response. That makes sense. I've enabled local cache.
