  There are a few ways I can think of -
  

  • Create thumbnails of the uploaded images and display them. This will definitely cut-down on the loading times.
  • Use a content delivery network (CDN), preferably from Amazon (cloudfront) - a very cheap CDN that works like charm. That should take off the load off your server and the images will be delivered from Amazon's servers - which would definitely be faster for the end users.
  • You may use image compression algorithm as you said.
  • Have a look- #-Link-Snipped-#
  • Have a look at Google mod_pagespeed module for Apache - it does most of the good job required to render pages faster.

  I hope this helps or give you a few ideas to consider. We've plenty of CS folks here who might offer you a better advice. 👍

  Can you tell me which technique you are using to display the images in this forum ?

  The images are turned into thumbnails for the guests but we don't compress them. It's not a image-heavy platform in the first place. The blog serves the images through CDN from Amazon which handles all the rendering.
