Next.js Image Component Causing Excessive Network Requests for Preloaded Images
I'm experiencing an issue with the Next.js Image component where preloaded images are causing excessive network requests, leading to performance degradation on my application. I have a gallery page that displays images based on user selection, and I'm trying to use the `layout='responsive'` property to ensure the images are displayed correctly. However, when the page loads, it seems to be fetching the same images multiple times instead of caching them. Here’s a simplified version of my code: ```javascript import Image from 'next/image'; const Gallery = ({ images }) => { return ( <div className="gallery"> {images.map((img) => ( <Image key={img.id} src={img.url} alt={img.alt} layout="responsive" width={600} height={400} priority={img.isFeatured} // Only for featured images /> ))} </div> ); }; export default Gallery; ``` I'm using Next.js version 13.2.0, and I've also enabled the `next/image` optimization feature in my `next.config.js`: ```javascript module.exports = { images: { domains: ['example.com'], }, }; ``` Despite these configurations, when I use Chrome's network tab, I can see that images that should be cached are being requested multiple times on page reload. I've tried using the `priority` prop for featured images but it doesn't seem to have an effect on the other images. Is there a way to better handle image preloading and avoid unnecessary network requests? Should I be using a different approach to caching or preloading images? Any insights would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
