Hi, is there a recommendation for creating images for Glide? Most of mine are 800px by 800px, and then I’m squashing the file size using Squoosh, which brings down the file size to around 35kb. But, I know if I resize it to 400px by 400px, it could result in even faster loading times, but not sure if the image will get scaled up causing pixelization. So, I guess what I’m asking is, what should be the recommended image dimensions for images so that whether it’s a bigger title image, or smaller list image, it looks good and loads fast? Or should I create 2 different columns for both smaller and larger images? Thanks for your help, Glide newbie

@spencerb: thanks for the heads up in my post on the same subject. It would be great to have some clarity on this, especially as Glide now offers an enlarger user experience on tablet & desktop. We use Kraken.io to optimise our images with great compression, but it is really important to know what the recommended source image dimensions are. Note: we are used to using WordPress where we have full control over optimisation of images and serving them via CDN using the optimal format, e.g. WebP etc.

Bump - this would be helpful…

[image] Externally Served Media Routes I’m working with a large number of 100kb-200kb images that I am hosting externally on remote storage and linking in-app through the direct URL in my spreadsheet. However, whenever I look at my data tables in Glide it looks like it is fetching the entire image. Can someone confirm if Glide is passing that route and having the user fetch that data from my CDN or if it is caching and serving that media from Glide’s servers? Followup question if it is indeed caching my media, is there a better way… [image] Does glide download the image url or just display it? Neither. Glide heavily caches your images and optimizes them per device, changing their format and resolution to load optimally for each operating system and screen density. I’m guessing that you’re asking because you’ve updated an image and it’s not updating in your app. If so, please see How can I cause my images to update whenever they change?
