Hi, can anyone kindly help me?

I have noticed that when clicking ‘shop’ on any of my buttons/navigation menu my two images on the shop page have a beige box around them for a few seconds prior to my image loading.

I have reached out to shopify who have suggested to message someone here as they believe it could be something to do with a code in my theme.liquid file.

Any help would be amazing and greatly appreciated - have put a screenshot below. This happens on mobile and desktop and has only recently been doing this!

Thanks so much,

Ankita
