This issue have been brought up by many users, yes sometimes images taking ages to load. I'm not sure but I guess simply enabling caching on proxy server should solve the issue.
Yes first time it will take time, but later when user reading the post it will load pretty fast. (it's a very naive solution probably it's already enabled and issue is something else)

However it also depends where you are upload your images, I see imgur.com is the best in terms of speed comparing to prnt.sc. I will suggest use imgur and try not to use original version. Imgur have option to show images in different seizes Small Square, Big Square, Small Thumbnail etc

User the appropriate size for example most case Large Thumbnail and Medium Thumbnail works for me and loads pretty fast as compared to Original

Also you can use alt and put message like "Image loading", so the reader will wait for the image to appear.

Code:

[img alt="Image loading"]https://i.imgur.com/qCrG1LW.png[/img]

Is it because of recent changes made in image caching related development on forum or what ?

I dont think its a recent change, I've always noticed this happening at least sometimes going back years. It eventually corrects itself and the picture shows up fast as people read the post. I sometimes just put the IMG link below the inline image code and people can just click the link to see instead of waiting.
Also a good extension for chrome which will save a ton of time in waiting for pages or links to appear is an app called hoverlinks. I wont link it as there is a few different types but you can hover over any hypertext link and get a preview of the image, the sound or video on that ink without having to load up the entire page that frames the media.

Saves alot of time when looking for any resource especially duplicates with various quality and the preview even allows fast forward through a video or for pictures scroll a slideshow or album to check contents as often the page itself can be slow for various factors but the media is waiting immediately.

For past few days, whenever I add new picture to a new reply and try to preview it, it does not load. I wait for 1 or 2 minutes but still the same.
But as soon as I post it, after few couple of seconds of waiting and reloading the page, they finally appear.

I haven't encountered this issue earlier, just recently.

I think it is related to cloudflare. ip.bitcointalk takes too much time to load and sometimes i personally miss some images before finding it later once reloading the page, same goes to the preview.
~~I believe i read theymos giving comments about that but i didn't find the topic.~~

Edit : i confused it with this post tho

ip.bitcointalk.org is the image proxy.
