XF 2.3 Custom Style is Slow to Load

[Hdlr]

Hello, would anyone be able to provide some reasons for why a custom style background may be slow to load? This has happened recently, as the style background was not slow to load prior. I didn't make any significant template adjustments.

Thank you for your time.

why a custom style background

Can you share the link? The file might be too large or the connection could be slow.

I have a cloud forum.

Really? A few members have stated it loads slow for them.

It does the same for me on chrome. The background and banner at the top loads a few inches at a time. Sometimes it will freeze and become slower to load.

There's a couple second delay, but nothing i would complain about.

it does look like you are using a 3rd party to host images. postimage.cc is likely your issue.

html[data-color-scheme="light"] .p-header-logo img {
    content: url("https://i.postimg.cc/qML8Nf2f/wc-light-mode-logo.png") !important
}



body,.p-pageWrapper {
    background-color: hsl(240,13%,5%) !important;
    background-image: url("https://i.postimg.cc/brd9P3Fs/dmodebackground.png");
    background-position: center top !important;
    background-repeat: no-repeat !important;
    background-size: cover !important;
    background-attachment: fixed !important;
    color: #e5e7eb
}

i would recommend you serve those images from your own domain or an actual cloud provider with edge like cloudflare r2 or s3

Run it through an optimizer like https://tinypng.com/ as well as get it off of that postimg.cc site.
