Page load extremely slow

    Hi. I have this plugin on several sites but one in particular is taking over a minute to load the thumbnail gallery on both pages (wilkiephoto.com). We havent changed themes or added other plugins, just been updating over the last few months. On Godaddy. Now using the latest version, but still super slow. Any ideas? I did a test on GT Metrix and some of the top major issues are minifying CSS, leveraging browser caching (which I am), enable gzip compression, all related to the plugin. Any known issues? Thanks for your help!

    @apronstringsaflutter – I would not suggest most of those ideas as they could actually break NextGEN Gallery. As to you pointing out this is a GoDaddy server, are its resources what you really need to provide a proper display environment?

    We are preparing a (major) release that addresses many load and performance issues which may help with this but in many cases there are a great many variables outside of our control that will affect load speed.

    As it is, the site is loading extremely slow and part of that problem may be it is trying to load a NextGEN Gallery custom CSS file (Black_Minimalism.css) that cannot be found. Try looking into that aspect to see if it helps to sort out this speed problem.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the feedback, Cais. I disabled the custom css option and that has fixed the long load time. Not sure where that css file would have gone…weird! But very thankful for you pointing in the right direction!

    @apronstringsaflutter – Glad to help. It may have been “lost” in the standard WordPress Plugin update routines that are run … all files under the /plugin/< plugin-being-updated > are removed and replaced with the latest version.

    This is why we moved the custom CSS file(s) storage location into the /wp-content/ngg-styles/ folder.
