We have now completed upgrading the image servers. Currently we have 2 image servers (North America/Europe), both with a complete copy of all the images, so there is now redundancy.

You can choose which image server to load images from (only applies to older chapters, since recent chapters are uploaded to the webserver first, and moved to image servers later).
In the legacy reader, you can do this in the settings cog.
In the default/new reader, you can do this in the advanced settings.

By default, it will select a random image server. This might be improved upon in the coming days.

Feedback on the speed of the image servers would be appreciated - especially on the North American server.

As usual, thanks to everyone who has supported us financially - we are getting to a stage where servers aren't cheap!
As the site continues to grow, more servers will be needed in the coming months, so please consider supporting us if you haven't already done so.

I really hope this doesn't get to the point where this site starts getting targeted by DMCA, and corps... Everything still needs to grow more. lol

Thanks for the update, the load of images is very responsive and prartically instant.

As an incentive, extra settings will be available to our supporters. Come back later!
Nice, i donated once so i'm glad to see that i can have more options, hopefully more customizations and permament settings (not cookied based). :)

Feels slower than before. I get this https://imgur.com/a/zlkpi3W on every single page. Lasts like 1-2 second or so and gets annoying.

Nice. More is always better.
Hoping that you would also consider setting up more image servers, especially in Asia-Pacific region.

Try changing the image servers, see which loads faster for you, instead of it randomizing.

@karappo

At some point in the future, we will! I need to make sure our monthly income can support it, since those servers are quite expensive.
