{# The tile photos used to be inline --tile-photo styles, so the browser fetched all ten as soon as the page started rendering - on a phone they're below the fold, and on a slow connection they were competing with the hero image (the LCP element) for bandwidth: LCP ~2.9s with them, ~1.75s without, simulated slow 4G. Now each tile gets its photo just before it scrolls into view. Without JS the tiles stay plain white, the same fallback as a category with no hero image (see .v2020_directory_grid_item_photo). #}
