💡 What
Replaced the inline CSS background-image in components/sections/home6/section1.tsx with the next/image component using the fill and priority props. Added position: relative to the parent container to properly scope the image's absolute positioning.

🎯 Why
The hero image is typically the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) element on the page. Loading it via CSS background-image prevents Next.js from automatically optimizing the image and the browser from discovering it early. Using next/image with priority injects a <link rel="preload"> tag in the document head, allowing the browser to fetch the image sooner, which directly improves LCP times.

📊 Impact
Expected to significantly improve the LCP metric for the "home6" layout by prioritizing the fetch of the hero image and serving optimized formats (like WebP/AVIF depending on configuration), instead of relying on CSS parsing to trigger the download.

🔬 Measurement
Verify the improvement by running Lighthouse on the /home6 route (or any route using this section) and comparing the LCP time before and after the change. Observe the network tab to confirm the image is preloaded early in the document lifecycle.

  • Refactor
    • Improved hero section background image handling for faster, more efficient loading and consistent visual appearance across viewports.

Replaced CSS background-image in home6 section1 with next/image.
Used `priority` to preload the LCP element and `fill` to make it behave
as a background, adding `position: relative` to the parent container.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Replaced inline CSS backgroundImage in the home hero with a Next.js Image component. The wrapper div now uses position: "relative" and the Image is absolute-fill with priority, objectFit: "cover", objectPosition: "center top", and zIndex: -1.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Hero Section Image Optimization
components/sections/home6/section1.tsx
Replaced CSS backgroundImage with an absolutely-positioned Next.js Image (fill, priority, objectFit: "cover", objectPosition: "center top"). Wrapper div switched to position: "relative"; removed previous background repeat/size/position inline styles.

Remediation recommended

1. Missing Image sizes prop 🐞 Bug ➹ Performance
Description
Section1 uses next/image with fill/priority but omits sizes, which can trigger Next.js
warnings and cause the browser to fetch a larger-than-needed variant on the LCP-critical hero image.
This can partially negate the intended LCP improvement from switching off CSS background-image.
Code

components/sections/home6/section1.tsx[R11-17]

+        <Image
+          src="/assets/img/bg/header-bg17.png"
+          alt="Background"
+          fill
+          priority
+          style={{ objectFit: "cover", objectPosition: "center top", zIndex: -1 }}
+        />
Evidence
The updated hero background Image is fill + priority but has no sizes attribute. Elsewhere
in the repo, fill images commonly provide sizes (e.g., full-bleed backgrounds use
sizes="100vw") to guide responsive image selection.

## Issue description
`next/image` is used with `fill`/`priority` but without `sizes`, which can lead to incorrect responsive image selection and Next warnings.
## Issue Context
This hero image is intended to be the LCP element; missing `sizes` can undermine the performance goal.
## Fix Focus Areas
- components/sections/home6/section1.tsx[11-17]
## Suggested change
Add an explicit sizes hint (likely `sizes="100vw"` for a full-width hero background), e.g.:

2. Decorative background has alt 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
Description
The new hero background image is intended to behave like a decorative CSS background, but it uses
alt="Background", which makes screen readers announce it as content. This creates accessibility
noise and is inconsistent with other decorative imagery in the same component that uses empty alt
text.
Code

components/sections/home6/section1.tsx[R8-16]

+        {/* ⚡ Bolt Optimization: Replaced CSS background-image with next/image.
+            Using priority=true preloads the LCP hero image, and fill allows it to behave like a background.
+            Parent div requires position: relative to contain the absolute positioned image. */}
+        <Image
+          src="/assets/img/bg/header-bg17.png"
+          alt="Background"
+          fill
+          priority
+          style={{ objectFit: "cover", objectPosition: "center top", zIndex: -1 }}
Evidence
The inline comment explicitly states the image is meant to 'behave like a background', indicating it
is decorative. In the same component, other decorative images already use alt="", but this
background image uses a non-empty alt.

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The hero background image is decorative but currently has `alt="Background"`, which will be announced by assistive tech.
## Issue Context
This `Image` is replacing a CSS `background-image` and is intended to function as a visual background only.
## Fix Focus Areas
- components/sections/home6/section1.tsx[11-17]
## Suggested change
Change to an empty alt and (optionally) hide it from accessibility APIs:

Code Review

This pull request optimizes the hero section by replacing a CSS background image with a Next.js Image component to improve performance and Largest Contentful Paint (LCP). Review feedback suggests removing a redundant inline style that is already defined in the CSS class and improving accessibility by setting an empty alt attribute for the decorative background image.

The inline style position: "relative" is redundant because the .hero6-section-area class already defines position: relative in the stylesheet (styles/components/hero/_home6.scss, line 5). Removing it keeps the JSX cleaner and avoids duplication of styles.

For decorative background images, it is recommended to use an empty alt attribute (alt="") so that screen readers skip them. Using "Background" provides no useful context to users with visual impairments and can be repetitive for those using assistive technologies.

Suggested change
alt="Background"
alt=""

Replaced CSS background-image in home6 section1 with next/image.
Used `priority` to preload the LCP element and `fill` to make it behave
as a background, adding `position: relative` to the parent container.
Ran `npm run format` to fix Prettier CI check failures.

7-7: Redundant inline style: position: relative is already defined in CSS.

The .hero6-section-area class already sets position: relative in styles/components/hero/_home6.scss. This inline style is unnecessary and can be removed.

inline style on the JSX element that sets position: "relative" — locate the div
with className "hero6-section-area" in the Section1 component (section1.tsx) and

11-17: Consider empty alt for purely decorative background images.

Since this is a decorative background that doesn't convey meaningful content, an empty alt with aria-hidden="true" is more appropriate for accessibility. Screen readers will skip it instead of announcing "Background" which provides no useful information.
