I’m using Framer’s native Slideshow component for a homepage hero with four image slides. On a cold page load, all four unique slideshow images are transferred immediately, even though only the first slide is initially visible. In my measured case, the four optimized AVIF images transferred: • 342,675 bytes • 469,173 bytes • 511,599 bytes • 125,509 bytes Total initial slideshow image transfer: 1,448,956 bytes (~1.38 MiB). The slideshow mounts all four slides with loading=auto. Looping also creates additional slide copies, although those reuse the same cached image URLs and do not create additional unique transfers. Framer currently exposes controls for slideshow content, autoplay, interval, transition, clipping, arrows and dots, but I could not find a supported loading/preload control for the slideshow or individual image-filled slide frames. It would be helpful if the native Slideshow could either: • eagerly load only the initially visible slide and intelligently preload the next slide before transition, or • expose a supported loading/preload/priority control for slideshow images. The current behaviour provides seamless transitions, which is valuable, but it can add significant initial page weight, particularly for mobile visitors. I’d prefer to continue using Framer’s native, maintained Slideshow rather than replace it with a custom carousel solely to gain control over image loading.
