Jellyfin Home Screen triggers 2000+ thumbnail loads - Jorge Jorge - 2025-12-01
Hi everyone,
I’m having an issue where my Jellyfin Dashboard / Home screen tries to load every image/poster from my libraries at once, causing the browser to hang and showing thousands of
(pending) requests in the Network tab.
What I'm seeing:
- Nearly 2,000+ image requests when opening the Dashboard
- All requests show up as "0" size (pending)
- Browser becomes slow or unresponsive
- Network tab shows massive amounts of thumbnails loading continuously
- Dashboard takes a very long time to render
Looking for a setting that causes Jellyfin to preload all latest posters on the Home screen? or Is there a recommended way to prevent Jellyfin from aggressively loading images so the dashboard doesn’t flood the browser with requests?
Any help or guidance would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
