hi there,

I'm finding images are loading slowly on the site annabel-b.com - is this something i can mitigate by upgrading my subscription? I've tested hosting these images directly on AWS and they load quickly.

thanks!

Are you serving them using the static files system or from your web app?

from the web app as they are uploaded as part of the UI by users

In that case, they are probably slow because of that. Serving static files through your web app code is always going to be significantly slower than serving them with the static files system.

thanks glenn - i've just double checked and the parent folder that the uploaded images are uploaded to is listed in the static files

How big are those images?

between 1mb and 5mb, thanks

Your web app is running out of available web workers so uploads are waiting for the worker process to pick them.

i see, how can i solve this?

You can make your images smaller, serve fewer of them in your pages, increase the number of workers for your web app.
