Unoptimized image loading causing significant performance degradation

7/10 High

Developers ship applications with hero images that load immediately on page open, including images below the fold that users may never see. This results in 8-second load times on mobile connections, as developers often only test on fast office Wi-Fi rather than realistic network conditions.

Query: “What are the most common pain points with Next.js in 2025?”3/27/2026

I see developers ship apps with hero images that take 8 seconds to load on mobile connections because they never tested on anything slower than their office Wi-Fi.
