A number of sitemaps contain URLs, and a number of those URLs contain image URLs with captions, titles, etc.

The way lazy loading works is that you with scripting first loads and serves the correct image source when an image is visible in the visitors viewport but googlebot won’t index these images because the correct image source isn’t rendered serversite.
