Images are getting loaded very slow on the page load

I am running a nextjs application Ubuntu 22.04 droplet@2GB RAM 1AMD vCPU 50GB storage . All other contents are getting loaded very fast except images. Images are getting loaded very slow on page load. Each image has reduced size in kb’s and getting loaded in the browser in an optimized way.

Could anybody please advise how could I resolve this issue.

Hello @sudiplahiri

You can make sure that the images are optimized in size (both file size and resolution).

Additionally, you can use some caching to load them faster instead of connecting to the server each time a resource is accessed.

Hi @sudiplahiri,

I’ll recommend checking some Application tools like Google’s PageSpeed Insights, it should give you more information to act upon.

Additionally, are your images locally stored, or are you using some external link to load them, that might be a reason behind the slowness as well. If you are using an external link to load them, I recommend against it as it can cause what you’ve described.
