Does noscript content load in bg

Question

Does the html tag noscript load the content in the background, even when javascript is enabled?

I have a random image that is called by JS each time the pageloads, but I would like all of the links (not just the current random one) to be crawled. At the same time, I don't want the pageload to slow down because images are loading in the background like they do with display:none. I also want to call these images and links in the html because of CMS reference issues with Javascript.

Answer 1

Image references in NOSCRIPT tags are not loaded at all when Javascript is enabled.

You can test this my making a number of large images, putting them inside the NOSCRIPT tag and watching browser activity.
