Recommended Image Dimensions?

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…

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?
