Problem/Motivation

The Hero Slider currently loads media (images/videos) with the loading="lazy" attribute.
This delays LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) performance metrics since the slider content is a key above-the-fold element.

Proposed resolution

  • Update the Hero Slider component to use loading="eager" for its images/videos.
  • Ensure all media within the slider begins loading immediately on page load.
