7. Publish your optimized widget by clicking “Publish” in the top-left corner of the widget editor.

Congratulations! Your widget’s images will now be preloaded, enhancing the performance and user experience.

Important Notes

  • The box_preload_images metadata option applies only to widgets containing images. If your widget does not have images, this setting won’t affect it.
  • While preloading images can increase the initial load time slightly, it generally offers a better user experience due to faster display times once images are loaded.
  • To disable image preloading for a specific widget, remove the box_preload_images = true line from the “Widget Metadata” field and save your changes.
