Hello guys I'm thinking of making a photography website just for storing high quality pictures. I know that in order to make it faster and not lose quality I can compress the pictures. Since I'm using React I know its not an advantage due to the large bundle size as is. I've always wondered if it would be better just to externally store the photos (plus it would be easier for the photographer just to upload new photos externally to update the website). Is this idea feasible or am I making it more complicated for potentially worse results? And if it is a good idea do you have any suggestions on where to store them so that I can make api request to retrieve them? P.S. I'm aware of code splitting and other optimization techniques
Store Files Externally would be the ideal solution. Also make sure to optimize those as well, As this will improve the Page Load time.
