Some cases may better by handled by browsers being more clever about ensuring that they load visible images before ones that will be fully outside the viewport, without the need for extra hinting. Othere cases may require extensions to HTML to add additional attributes to img and similar elements. However, a couple of things you should check are: 1) that you are not trying to send cookies with all your images, or even worse, sending cache control headers that prevent caching (sending cookies with images is a very common mistake and problems with stale cosmetic images can be avoided by changing the image name on each re-styling of the page. 2) that you are you providing image display size information in the img element opening tags. At least at one time, having that information allowed browsers to layout the page and start rendering before all hte images had loaded.
