Image loading slow on github pages website

Question

I have a simple website created with HTML , CSS and JavaScript and it's hosted on Github pages. But on my site I have like 20 images and when I open my site on the browser it takes a while for the images to load.

How can I make my images load immediately or just faster? Is it because of Github pages host or is it because there are a lot of images on one site?

I have seen websites with more images than that and they are like preloaded or something.
