hey everyone. I am basically creating an app where users upload pictures and on their homepage, all the pics can be viewed. Problem is, the homepage is VERY slow when displaying the images. Is this because I am using google sheets to store the data and image urls from cloudinary? Should I use a diff source like maybe airtable/firebase? Or is thunkable just inherently slow regardless of data source?

Without seeing your blocks or a link to your project, we have no idea why your project loads images slowly. You could be using a loop improperly or using too many stored variables or any number of other causes…
