It was Flloydo who mentioned about Instagram links in Leon thread slowing down a thread page loading
it was not me who that said that.
@walkintom
My post you are referring to had nothing to do with Instagram links and I did not mention Instagram in that post.
My post you are referring in Leon thread was about to use thumbnail images and not use large full size images
Large size images can slow down a website as they take up more bandwidth
What I posted was in regards to inserting large full size images in threads can cause loading times issues and also effects if the device been used by members/visitors to the forum is 2G/3G/4G mobile or other slow internet speed
and to insert thumbnail images instead,
Using thumbnail images a website will load faster as the image is smaller
and file size of each image is compressed.
Images that are few MB (Megabyte) in file size can slow down a webpage from loading.
1 megabyte (MB) is 1,024 KB (kilobytes)
My images I take on my phone (I then compress those images before posting I upload them to facebook first) and then download that image from facebook and then insert to a thread as Thumbnails the file size range from 16.2KB to 21KB only
That means the thumbnail images won't cause webpage loading issues as been thumbnails file size of each image is very small
When you click on my thumbnail images in threads to see larger image the file size increases a bit but is stilll only about 230 KB
