NextJS Tip โšก๏ธ High Priority image Preloading for Improved Performance ๐Ÿš€

Did you know that setting the โ€œpriorityโ€ property to true for images can significantly enhance your websiteโ€™s performance?

Doing so ensures that these images are considered high priority and preloaded.

One of the advantages of using the โ€œpriorityโ€ property is that it automatically disables lazy loading for these images.

This means they will be loaded immediately without waiting for the user to scroll to them.

If you aim to optimize your websiteโ€™s Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) element, itโ€™s highly recommended to utilize the โ€œpriorityโ€ property for any image detected as the LCP element.

This simple step can greatly improve the overall user experience.

Moreover, remember that different viewport sizes may have different LCP elements.

Hence, having multiple priority images can be beneficial.

This ensures the LCP element is optimized for various screen sizes and resolutions.

Remember, though, that the โ€œpriorityโ€ property should only be used for images that are visible above the fold, where users can see them immediately upon landing on your webpage.

So why wait?

Start leveraging the โ€œpriorityโ€ property to boost your websiteโ€™s performance and create a seamless user experience.

Give your images the attention they deserve! ๐Ÿ’ช
