This is a test post to demonstrate using remote images as featured images in the Congo theme.

With this implementation, we can use images hosted elsewhere without having to download them to our content folders.

Benefits of Remote Images #

  1. No need to store large image files in your repository
  2. Faster builds since Hugo doesn’t need to process the images
  3. Can use image CDNs and optimization services

How It Works #

The remote_image parameter in the front matter points to an external image URL, which is used instead of a local featured image.
