I have a preloader that shows until my site is loaded, is there a way that I can start to load some jpg’s after the preloader is finished so that my site is up but the pictures are not cached yet?

Thanks

If your images are external jpgs, then they won’t get cached until you choose to load them in.

If they are already in the file, no, your preloader will load the whole file and not just items you want.
