Comment (by isaumya):

 Hi @westonruter,
 Yes, I agree with you on that. I thought for the above the fold images you
 guys are gonna add `loading="eager"` instead of committing it. Sorry my
 misunderstanding.

 Generally, when I build custom themes for custom development I always add
 the `loading="eager" importace="high"` for the first above the fold image
 that is going to general the LCP value.

 But thanks a lot for your reply. I am hoping (kind of sure) that the
 `importance` attribute will be standardized very soon. I think Firefox
 will do it first and hopefully, Safary will either not do it or will do it
 after 5-10 years or so. As the other chromium-based browsers will have it
 (I think) as they are chromium based.
