Hello @jtcf,

We reviewed your content and noticed that most of your images are set using the **background-image** property.

If you use the **Builder Image Block** , there is an option to enable **High Priority** , which automatically adds `fetchpriority="high"` to the image attributes.

For background images, adding `fetchpriority="high"` requires a custom JavaScript solution. You can refer to this forum post for guidance: [Add fetchpriority=“high” instead of lazy loading](https://forum.builder.io/t/add-etchpriority-high-instead-of-lazy-loading/2927/2).

Let us know if you need any further assistance!

Thanks,
