Showcase your images with an image slider, image comparison, or add hotspots to create interactive elements for your page layouts.
What is the POWER Sec Image Module?
The POWER Sec Image Module is a versatile image display tool with multiple layout options for showcasing images in engaging, interactive ways.
Module capabilities:
- Image sliders (multiple variants)

- Responsive image display
Common use cases:
- Product showcases
- Before/after transformations

How does the Sec Images module affect page speed?
-
Low impact: Depending on the layout chosen, only the necessary CSS and JS are loaded.
-
Medium impact - If used in the browser viewport it will increase the impact on page speed.
Performance Tips:
- Convert images to WebP where possible to meet criteria to serve images in next-gen format
- If the module is not in the browser viewport (especially on mobile), you can further improve the performance by unchecking the "Is in Viewport?" setting.
- To reduce image file sizes without losing quality, use TinyPNG to compress your images (JPG, PNG, WebP)
Note: For more detailed performance advice, review the POWER Performance Guide!
