Gallery performance issues

    I’ve been using your gallery plugin for a while, and I recently noticed that my galleries are loading very slowly, especially when there are more than 20 images. Some pages take over 10 seconds to fully load, which is affecting my site’s performance and SEO. I checked my server resources, and everything seems fine. I also optimized the images by reducing their file sizes, but the issue persists. Additionally, I have caching enabled, but that didn’t improve the loading time.

    Are there specific optimization settings within the plugin that I should adjust? Does the plugin support lazy loading or any other performance improvements? I want to ensure my galleries load quickly without sacrificing quality.

    Thanks for reaching out! We understand how important performance is, especially when it comes to SEO and user experience.

    To improve your gallery’s loading speed, here are a few key optimizations you can try:

    1. Enable Lazy Loading – This ensures that images are only loaded when they come into view, reducing initial page load time. You can find this option in the Gallery Settings.

    2. Use Gallery Caching – Our plugin includes a built-in caching option that helps speed up loading by storing pre-rendered gallery data. Try enabling this feature for better performance.

    3. Optimize Image Sizes – While you’ve already reduced file sizes, ensure images are properly compressed and resized before uploading. Tools like TinyPNG or ShortPixel can help with further optimization.

    4. Check for Plugin Conflicts – Sometimes, other plugins (especially those related to performance, caching, or scripts) can affect page load times. Try temporarily disabling other plugins to see if there’s any impact.

    5. Compare Load Times – To pinpoint the issue, compare the load time of a page with a gallery and a similar page without one. This will help determine if the slowdown is gallery-related or site-wide.

    If you’ve tried these steps and still experience slow loading times, let us know, and we’ll be happy to take a closer look! Feel free to share a link to your gallery page so we can analyze it further.
