i deleted it because it had gotten a lot of comments from strangers and that overwhelmed me ngl, but i saw what you suggested about lazy loading and/or hosting my images on here. i'll consider the lazy loading because it seems easier, 'though i'll have to learn a bit more about it. i use catbox because it's easy. the gimmick of my site is that there is no gimmick and i really do live in a shithole
and, because of that, i'm doing the bare minimum for stuff like this as long as i can get away with it. i'll implement lazy loading soon if it's as easy as i think, but doing a mass conversion/edit of my photos will have to wait until i'm not so exhausted by my living situation. thank you for your suggestion

It's easy, you just need to add loading="lazy" to your img tag, and then the image will only load when it enters the viewport.
For thumbnails, you wrap a link around a lower resolution image, which opens the high res one when clicked.
Hope that helps.
i did it, did that help at all?
i added the lazy loading, i mean. did that help?
Yes that helped a lot, now I recommend you use imgBB.com to quickly generate image links with a thumbnail if you don't wanna do that manually.
