# Preload Lightbox

 * Hello, check out my site waterfall [here](https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.energyhub.org%2Ftargets%2F).
   I think lightbox is loading late, increasing my LCP. I can confirm the late loading
   image is not:
    – AO lazy load (I only enabled this just today) – but the lagging
   image load has persisted for months – Cloudflare Polish feature – I’ve also tested
   this thoroughly.
 * Is there a .js that I can load early to get that image showing up quicker? Thanks!

 * Hi [@rurban23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rurban23/),
 * WP Featherlight doesn’t have any effect on the loading of the base image or the
   LCP on the page, so the plugin isn’t causing your LCP to be higher.
 * Since the issue is the image itself, you may want to display a proper size, or
   at least add the size that’s being displayed on the page as a thumbnail size 
   and use it in your theme.
