I’m upgrading from 7 to 10 and would like feedback on best modules to install and config setting, to get the fastest page load times.

My website is heavy on images, I have tens of thousands of images. What are the best image setting to apply?

I am also considering purchasing a dedicated server as my website is around 50GB in size. What are the best dedicated servers to host on and the minimum requirements to help load my new drupal 10 website as quickly as possible given the amount of images I have? A lot of hosting providers charge additional fees for all kinds of software, cPanel Whm etc - which is to be expected, however are there any worth while additions to my server setup config etc that will benefit my new site and assist in page speed load times and good user experience?

It’s important to note that I am no pro here, so please make this easy for me to understand in response.

My D10 website will be going live in the next few months, so I have lots of time to make informed best decisions.

Has anyone experienced any noticeable changes with load times/performance from 7 to 10?

For images, I'd recommend using AWS S3 bucket rather than storing it on Drupal end since you mention your site has several thousands of images.
