Media in a collection are slow to load

💻 Environment/Context

  • Media library
  • Slow preview
  • Missing file extension

 

 

❓ Issue/Question

  • We are having issues with this collection. We are struggling with it's load speed.
  • Collection takes longer than expected to show the media and its preview.

 

👌 Resolution/Answer

  • The issue is related to the fact that a bunch of media were uploaded without any extension.
  • If possible, please re-upload the media files and make sure that the correct file extension is included.
  • If you're unable to do so, please reach out to our Support team via the live chat, and we'll be happy to assist you further.

 

 

🥚 Cause

  • When a file is uploaded without a file extension (for example, .jpg), the system is unable to recognize it as a media file. As a result, it cannot generate thumbnails or low-resolution previews.
