# Hero images load faster on phones

Phones and tablets now get a smaller version of your homepage hero image instead of the full size file.

The hero is the first thing visitors see, so it now appears sooner on mobile connections, while desktop visitors still get the full size image. There is nothing for you to change or upload again.
