Idea/Suggestion Use (weserv) CDN for images

[Gummibeer]

Atm all images are embedded via the link that was entered. Depending on the used service the loading times are very very very different. A CDN that's a caching layer in the middle would solve this. A free service would be Image cache & resize service which is powered by the "endless" performance capabilities of Cloudflare - The Web Performance & Security Company | Cloudflare .
I already use it in nearly all my projects and it works. The simplest integration would be: https://images.weserv.nl?url=https://example.com/image.jpg. This would keep the used file format and won't change anything. To improve performance the &il and &w= parameters could be used to reduce the size of all images to a reasonable value for a forum and use progressive/interlaced images. Because it uses the already existing URLs and not any storage it's the easiest image CDN to integrate that's possible.

Nice one! There is support for image proxying built-in so I just need to set one up. That looks like a great service thanks for the recommendation! 😄

Image proxying via your server will never get what Cloudflare does. 😉 They modify the images if wanted, cache them and set all possible and required cache headers. So much more than a simple proxy.
