Is there a way to speed up image loading? Don’t know if my webserver is slow, but it always feels like I have to wait a lot for the images; especially if there are many (i.e. gallery).

I already compress and resize all my images before I upload them. Are there any other options? (i.e. server-side caching? progressive JPEG loading would also be nice).

Probably you need to look into the webserver configuration or move the assets into S3 using the could storage addon.

To have image optimization on fly you can also try the [https://github.com/pauloamgomes/CockpitCMS-ImageOptimizer](https://github.com/pauloamgomes/CockpitCMS-ImageOptimizer) addon, it will optimize images during upload.
