Add image proxy mechanism to improve image load times #1736

Closed galpt closed 4 months ago

galpt commented 4 months ago

Describe your suggested feature

Please consider adding image proxy feature that can be toggled On/Off. Some of the available options are:

  1. https://wsrv.nl/
  2. https://0ms.dev/mirrors/

From the user's perspective, this will improve image load times by acting as an extra caching layer nearest to the user, increasing reliability and performance.

From the manga server's perspective, this will help reducing the burden for frequently requested/downloaded manga titles, as the same images are already cached in optimized servers for caching.

A simple method to benchmark this is by using the browser's Inspect Elements > "Network" tab, it will show how much this will improve performance and reliability most of the time.

No plans to add this. MangaDex has servers all over the world to help with loading as well as @home nodes. If you really have image loading issues, just download ahead of time, lower the quality, or play with DNS settings in the app.
