Hi All,

I’m having some trouble with images loading slowly. Is there best practice to ensure images load quickly?

I’m hosting all images in Gdrive and keeping the sizes below 750KB.

Thanks,  
Max

If you dont plan to enlarge the images I would say that your images are way to big. 150-200 kB should be sufficient or probably smaller.

If you store the images in Cloudinary you can specify in the url how large the image should be e.g. width=1000px
