Pictures load very slow outside of my home network (more than 10 sec)

Hi everyone, first of all, I would like to express my gratitude to Ente IO. The developers have done an excellent job. I have now managed to get Ente running on my system at 95%, and I hope you can assist me with the remaining 5%.

Openmediavault and Casa OS are running on my Debian server. I use Casa OS for Docker containers. Since there is unfortunately no Ente app in the Casa OS app store yet, I used the Quick Start link on the Ente IO homepage.

I was able to set everything up locally, including removing the user limit and uploading my images.

The problems start when I want to run Ente Io outside my network. First, I tried Cloudflare Tunnel. Normally, I just have to enter my internal IP into the tunnel and I can access everything from outside via the self-defined domain, e.g., ente.mydomain.com

The images were then only visible on my internal network, and I had many CORS errors externally. I then learned that I also had to store the Cloudflare tunnel domain in the compose.yaml and museum.ymal files.

The images were then visible, but it took around 10 seconds internally and externally for an image to load completely. I waited until Ente Io had loaded completely, but that didn't help much.

Then I tried another method using Caddy. I defined three domains via DuckDNS. One for port 3000, one for port 3200, and one for port 8080. Then I installed Caddy directly on the server, connected the domain to the internal ports, and stored everything in the compose.yaml and museum.ymal files.

Now the images load very quickly in my home network and via the DuckDNS domain. However, they only load quickly when I am connected to the Wi-Fi in my home network. As soon as I go outside with my cell phone and access the Ente Io Android app using only mobile data, the images take 10 seconds to load again. I don't know if it's because I have to be connected to Wi-Fi?

If anyone has had a similar problem and could help me, I would be extremely grateful.
