> [@Externally Served Media Routes](https://community.glideapps.com/t/externally-served-media-routes/15020): > > 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?
