Hello everyone, I’m looking for any tips you may have regarding optimization for image-heavy communities. Loads fine with topics that have less than 20 posts, but more than that it starts getting less dynamic. Thanks.

How to make Discourse faster for image-heavy communities?

Are images stored locally? If so, perhaps check out S3 or CDN?
