    I have a big image that is above the fold for any page except for home page. Unfortunatly the creator of the theme decided in this way and it is not possible to add this pic for home page too.

    Should I set this image for “preload images” option?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    The preload function is to hint the browser to download certain resources as soon as possible in parallel, but, you should not use it to load less priority things like large images. If you do that, the browser will be busy downloading the big image while other more important resources will be queued.

    Furthermore, please note that the preload function can only be used with resources that exist on all pages, and with the least number of resources possible.

    I would recommend only external fonts (google fonts uses the gstatic domain, not the fonts.google.com), or very small images such as your logo, that are required on all pages.
