Host all images in a way that lets them be cached #2500

          On thing: when I refresh the page, the self hosted images all blank out and reload - whereas the externally linked ones don't. I prefer the old way it loaded.

Cornelius noted that all of our images loaded on Astro in some sense reload every page refresh. I haven't been able to find how we can configure this within our Astro, but we can just host all images using something like S3 and they will have a sensible or configurable cache policy.

Have you looked at this? We could use local images, they get auto-optimized: https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/images/

I think the main use case for Loculus is without any custom build step, so don't personally see that as the way to go
