Show your home DJ booth (Part 2)

For me this page also loads instantly. No issues at all :slight_smile:

That would be lots of work, but if I find the time I will. Need to open them, copy and paste by editing the posts manually.

PK — I screenshot and posted what I meant. 195 MB is a massive page load by normal web standards.

If it loads instantly for you, that’s likely due to caching and a fast desktop connection. I’m on a 2 Gbps connection, and it still took roughly a minute to fully load on my end.

This isn’t about the content itself — it’s how the images are being delivered (full-resolution originals loading all at once).

A few simple changes could dramatically improve throughput without changing what anyone posts:

  • Serve resized images in the thread (e.g. 1600–2048px max width)

  • Use thumbnails in the feed and load full-size on click

  • Lazy-load images below the fold

  • Strip EXIF data / use modern formats (WebP)

For example, a typical DJ setup photo might be 12–20 MB straight from camera, but that same image resized for web can be 300–800 KB with no visible quality loss in a forum view. Multiply that across dozens of images and the difference is huge.

Happy to go deeper if useful

Reese — feel free to delete my posts on this topic in a day or two to help keep the thread clean.

Two Gig?! That’s twice what I’m on (a paltry 900Mb full fibre) so that doesn’t make sense.

:man_shrugging:

Discourse should lazy load images in a smaller size and opening full size when clicked on, so weird what’s happening.

Anyway, we needs setup images peeps.

Wish Denon had bigger presence in clubs honestly. Having tried other gear in clubs I still believe Denons are superior. A bigger push by the marketing team on socials or new promoters except Tiesto and Heldens who don’t give a crap about this would be a start hehe :grin:

I don’t have any neighbors; I live on the outskirts of the city. Anyway, if you were my neighbor, you’d probably be happy—we play great music at my place! :smiley:

I leave the closet doors open to keep out the humidity; I leave them open for a whole week, and then I leave them closed for a whole month :slight_smile:

You need bigger monitors
