Description

I am running Gitea on an Xpenology (Synology) server in Docker. Machine itself is pretty powerful: Core i7 with 4GB ram. The container for Gitea has no restrictions on memory and limit for processor is set on "high".
However, even for a simple refresh of a page I have to wait 1-2 minutes! Gitea is completely unusable this way (aside from other problems). I routinely see times like this:
© Gitea Version: 38d8b8c Page: 120018ms Template: 120011ms

That was after I sign in. When I sign out, the times are:
© Gitea Version: 38d8b8c Page: 0ms Template: 0ms

It seems that Gitea is actually waiting for something for 60-120 seconds and then responding. Any idea what might be causing this? And more importantly - how to fix it?

You can check if the avatars are from external website.

That did the trick - thank you! After disabling avatars completely I get this:
© Gitea Version: 38d8b8c Page: 22ms Template: 3ms

That is now workable. Thanks again!
