Hey what file size images are you uploading, btw? The images load kind of slowly for me sometimes.

  For Chapters 1 & 2, I can’t really remember honestly, I uploaded these a while ago.
  For the chapters thereon, they’re about 2 MB for each page.

    Oh dang that’s huge. I upload like 500 KB images on mine XD That explains the slow image loading I’m often seeing.

      Really? I didn’t realise how huge I must’ve made my comic pages. Worth it though. I like making them big enough so that people can get a closer look at the detailing.

        Yeah, it’s the tradeoff with pageload times though. I was trying to read some of your pages faster than the whole image can load. Can be a bit of a turnoff for some readers.
        
        I believe there are some plugin/fancy things that can load the smaller image, but clicking on it can direct to a larger version. That way if people WANT to zoom in for detailing, they can. But since the frame of your comic page is ~960 pixels wide, uploading images bigger than that doesn’t really improve the resolution unless you zoom in, and SIGNIFICANTLY increases page load times.
        
        You can test it out with your backend, making some test pages with different filesizes and see if it changes the look of the comic pages at all. I personally upload pages at ~1024×1550, and I think it looks fine and detailed still? (example: https://demonarchives.com/chapter-10-page-28-keleres/ )

        I’ll keep it in mind, thanks.
