Set the order that the browser downloads the images in

[Alariczale]

Is it possible to set the order in which images are downloaded by the browser ? Ive got about 20 images on a page and looking the network tab in developer tools in chrome they seems to be downloaded in no particular order, and the order differs every time the newbielink:https://pintodown.net/ [nonactive] is loaded.

Ive looked at some lazy loading JS plugins, but these all seem to have the same core issue that they remove the image src and replace it later, thus forcing the browser to take images in order, but this is TERRIBLE for seo as a search engines bot will disregard an image with no src.

Is there any other way to do this ?
