Add explicit width/height attributes to every marquee image so the browser reserves the correct aspect-ratio box immediately from HTML parse time, instead of waiting for each image's bytes to arrive. Previously (CSS height:260px;width:auto only) any image not yet fully downloaded rendered at ~0 width, making the animated track look like one image followed by a large empty gap until everything finished loading.
Remove loading="lazy" from marquee images — since the carousel moves images via CSS transform (not real scroll), the browser's lazy-load viewport check never fired for the off-screen duplicate set, leaving a blank gap right before the loop seam.
