I have searched the existing issues, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate report.

The bug

When opening a person in the web client two identical requests are made to /api/people/{UUID}/statistics. The second request is not started until the first succeeds. For an person with a large number of images, these requests are fairly expensive (~500ms for 2k images for me).

Image

When viewing a person, if you open an image and press left or right on the keyboard these two requests are repeated. The image renders prior to the requests finishing, so it does not impede "slow browsing" behavior", but if you repeatedly press left or right to jump forward several images, it won't advance to the next image until the statistics requests finish for each one.

In this screenshot I cleared the request history and then pressed "right" on the keyboard once.

The statistics requests when viewing a slide show seem unnecessary to me since the actual counter can't be seen.

Workaround

Using an nginx/openresty reverse proxy we can inspect the $http_referer variable to determine that the photo is open in the viewer and skip proxying the request to the backend. I'm sure this could be handled better with caching, but as a quick work around it hasn't caused me any problems.

location ~ /api/people/.+?/statistics {
    if ($http_referer ~* ^[^?]+/photos/) {
        return 200 '{}';
    }
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header   "Connection" "";
    proxy_pass http://immich_backend;
}
