Actual behaviour

Server delivers a non-scalled image preview to the user.

Detailed description

Heya,

I've got a problem with timelines while using a mobile network. My connection is shattering while trying to load some high-quality image previews, making the image preview fail to load at all. Typical wait time for i.e. 4k image is in my case 40s~.

Possible solution: Making the backend deliver a scalled image preview to the end user (possibly based on client viewport size?) in an jpg / jpeg-xl format (compression reasons). User would have an option to get the original file size after pressing onto the image.

Hm, this should already be the case. After all, Mastodon does make small and large thumbnails for everything.

Sometimes I'm receiving a full size image instead of a compressed one.

The typical errors what I'm receiving during the bad internet speed is:

Failed to load ‘https://cdn.catcatnya.com/cache/media_attachments/files/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/original/example.jpeg’. A ServiceWorker intercepted the request and encountered an unexpected error. sw.js:1:89315
