title: Do background images load faster than embedded images in HTML and how are they read by screen readers?
body: <p>Do background images and embedded images take about the same time to load on a HTML page provided they are the same size? If I am to use the same image twice in a page - once as a background and once as a normal embedded image, which loads faster?</p>
  
  <p>For making a website compatible with screen readers, what's the best way to include an image? Are background images read well by screen readers or do they simply ignore the background images?</p>
