Hi there,
For serving static files quicker, I would recommend using a CDN like Cloudflare or using the DigitalOcean Spaces with CDN enabled:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/spaces/how-to/enable-cdn/
That way your static content will be served from multiple locations reducing the overall latency.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
