Site Performance Request: Disable the Loading of Low-Resolution Images Before the High-Resolution Ones

Feature Request|We are collecting votes for this issue
Currently, when high resolution images load on your site, a low resolution image is displayed first. This is the behavior across all Wix sites, and a lot of sites on the web. This technology has no effect on the rest of your site's content, including the high-resolution images themselves. It lets your site visitors see more meaningful content faster at no performance cost to you.
It is not possible to disable this behavior. 
We are always working to update and improve our products, and your feedback is hugely appreciated.
