The decoding HTML property allows to control how the browser "parallelizes" loading images.
In our case, assuming that for most cases out there popular posts lists usually are outside the viewport it might be a good idea to ask the browser to async decode WPP's thumbnails (eg. decoding="async" loading="lazy") to help improve performance, even if just a bit.
It might be necessary to introduce a new admin setting so users can control this. Default should be async though.
