Admin with many images - performance issues

[Dee_]

Hi,

I’m very new to ProcessWire and I’ve tried to find some recommendations, but haven’t managed to find what I’m looking for yet.

I’ve built a site (only in local for now) with each page containing one or two image fields. Some pages can contain close to 150 images per page (unfortunately, reducing the number of images is not an option in this project).
This results in very long loading times in the admin when opening those pages for editing, as well as slow save times even when no new images are uploaded or modified.

For context: each image only has the default thumbnail variation. All other image variations are generated independently from ProcessWire and are not handled by ImageSizer.

Are there any recommended or well-known approaches to improve admin performance in this kind of scenario (many images per page)?
Any best practices, architectural patterns, or optimizations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your help.

You can test to set the visibility to "Closed + Loaded only when opened (AJAX)"
