I don’t see any flickering when it loads.
Tested with Chrome on MacOS.

Sorry, I don’t understand. I didn’t click on anything after it loaded. I just opened the page and waited until it finished loading. As I said, I didn’t notice any flickering.
Is there something specific I need to do or look for?

It seems fine.
The only thing I noticed is that when you click on any of the collection items on that page, there is a (very) slight delay before the title image loads on the details screen. But this is normal, and only happens the first time. After that, the image has been cached and it loads instantly.
How big are your images?
You might be able to improve the initial load time by sizing them down a bit. As a general rule, I try and keep all images under about 600k.
