nginx serves images very slowly. Why?

In my Django App I let nginx serve the static media via an static-only app. Problem is: The images are loading really really slowly. Even when accessed directly through their URL (example) Honestly, I have no idea why...

Load was high on this server recently, but the links you provided are loading instantly for me.

If you still have trouble, feel free to post further information or open a support ticket.

Thanks for your reply! I just realised that my app runs on a server located in the USA while me and most of my visitors are based in Germany. Should i consider migrating it to a server in Europe?

Yes, migrating to our EU data center would certainly improve the connectivity for your EU-based visitors. You can request the migration from the Server migration link in your control panel.
