Hi Expert,  
i found my image doesn’t load properly recently,  
seem like glide changed something from glide hosting image to external cdn link.  
would like to check how to switch it back to glide hosting image?  
i’m using free plan right now  
does upgrade to paid plan will work? ( glide hosting the image)  
i’m planning upgrade to Maker plan, but worry the plan doesn’t fit my requirement and there’s no trial plan to test it.

thank you

Yes, Glide recently removed cloudinary support for free plans.

Your options are to make your images smaller, or upgrade to a paid plan.
