WordPress loading images from imgbb

  • Hi

    I have made a site for a clint, however my clint found a problem with loading images from imgbb.com .

    What I found is the there is a problem between wordpress and imgbb when I make the site’s language in arabic. I changed the language to English it improved but still a bit of problem (specifically with apple devices).

    also, the ‘service unavailable ‘ occurs a lot.

    if any one knows anything about it

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • I can access the page without any problems. Yes, there are a lot of pictures on the page, but they load when you scroll down. I have not seen a “service unavailable”.

    If such a message appears, my guess would be that it comes from imgbb, because too many images are loaded in too short a time from the same IP (the website visitor). This could be a protection against misuse of imgbb’s services and has nothing to do with WordPress itself.

    If this is the case and you want to prevent this, display fewer images on the page. Possibly also as an image gallery with pagination. Then fewer images will load when the page is called up, which should prevent the problem.

    Hi @threadi , thank you for sharing your thoughts

    have you tried in a phone or computer?

    because the problem mainly in phones.

    I have tried now but have the ‘service unavailable ‘ for some images in my galaxy and my clint get nothing in his iPhone.

    Hello @0aq0

    In my opinion, using image hosting services like imgbb isn’t the best practice for website speed, especially if the image sizes are large. There’s also the risk of issues with the image hosting service itself. Instead of using imgbb, it’s better to upload the images directly to WordPress, convert them to WebP format, add a CDN, and use lazy loading to improve loading speed.

    I’ve noticed that there are many images, and their sizes are quite large.

    If you’re seeing “service unavailable,” it’s coming from ImgBB, not anything under your control.

    That’s another reason not to use image hosting services like ImgBB on a live site. You have no control over how quickly they serve the images, or if they even will.

    It’s always best to host the images yourself and/or use a reputable CDN (not an image hosting service).
