NextJS Tip ⚡️ High Priority image Preloading for Improved Performance 🚀

Shan Asif - Aug 23 '23 - - Dev Community

Did you know that setting the “priority” property to true for images can significantly enhance your website’s performance?

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

One of the advantages of using the “priority” 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 website’s Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) element, it’s highly recommended to utilize the “priority” 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 “priority” 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 “priority” property to boost your website’s performance and create a seamless user experience.

Give your images the attention they deserve! 💪
