Image assets loading slowly or not at all (502)

Site: timely-empanada-b65789

We’ve recently started seeing extremely slow load times for images (all small file sizes, biggest is ~130kb) without us deploying any new code. Sometimes the images don’t even load at all and we get a 502 on most of the images.

We’re using a standard Next.js install and Netlify’s Next.js Runtime.

We noticed it yesterday and assumed it was a temporary dip in CDN performance but it’s still there today. We’re expecting an increase in traffic tomorrow so we’re starting to get a bit nervous about it. Would really really appreciate any help. Don’t know how to debug this any further on my own.

Same here. I’ve also tried to deploy my app on some other Cloud Edges providers. And the problem is on Netlify side.

I can confirm this same issue in loading API requests and we are also nervous about this as we have our launch in 6 days.

I’ve launched many sites on Netlify and have not seen this problem. In fact for sites that were launched on Netlify over a year ago this problem is non existent.

I can also confirm making the same requests from postman or from localhost do not encounter this issue.

The current site I’m referencing is actually an exact clone of a site already in production with the same configuration on Netlify that has a larger set of servers on elastic beanstalk so it should run much quicker but this is not the case.
