Description
Current Behavior
The images that are dynamically imported here https://github.com/layer5io/layer5/blob/master/src/sections/Community/Handbook/badges-data.js#L3-L4, can instead be statically, and externally sourced from https://badges.layer5.io
Desired Situation
Improve site build time by eliminating gatsby-image-plugin processing of these images.
