The direct answer
A hero layout may reserve little space or depend on a delayed image. The page then shifts or looks empty while loading.
Start with the evidence
Observe the initial load with realistic network conditions and inspect image dimensions. Identify whether the hero image is essential to understanding the offer.
Make the change deliberately
Reserve appropriate space and optimize delivery for the actual display size. Measure loading behavior before declaring a performance improvement from visual inspection alone.
