For faster delivery of images and large media files, you generally want a CDN (Content Delivery Network).
Why a CDN helps
- Stores copies of your files on servers around the world
- Delivers content from a location closer to the user
- Reduces latency and speeds up load times
- Offloads traffic from your main server
Best practices
- Use object storage for the original files
- Put a CDN in front of that storage
- Enable image optimization if available
- Set proper cache headers for long-term caching
Common choices
- Cloudflare CDN
- AWS CloudFront
- Fastly
- Akamai
- Google Cloud CDN
If you want, I can also suggest the best option based on your stack, budget, or traffic level.
