Fails if transitioning from placeholders to final images changes the rendered size of the element as media loads. Not using a solid color placeholder occupying the same dimensions as the target image, or techniques such as LQIP or SQIP that hint at the content of a media item before it loads. These changes can be disorienting for users and trigger expensive DOM layout operations that consume system resources and contribute to jank.
