Speeding up the gallery load

Hi @fiona92

I had a look at your page. The problem seems to be the fact that there are 4 galleries loading on your page all at once. The browser can only download a certain number of things at a time, so loading all the thumbs on the inactive tabs is what is causing the delay. My initial recommendations are:

1) Get the tabs to work in an ajax fashion, so only once you click on the tab, will it load the content for that tab. (This is prob not possible without some development)
2) Rather use the PRO feature of filtering, so create a single large gallery with all the items. Tag each item accordingly to Villas, Suites, Wildlife or Resort. By doing this, the lazy loading will work correctly and only load the items that are visible on the page which will improve performance.

@steveush – any other recommendations to improve load time?

Hi,

While I agree with Brad’s suggestions and do have some improvements in mind for fututre releases, something seems a little off on your server.

When using something like Chrome’s developer tools and inspecting the network activity on page load the majority of delay is server side. This delay is what I believe is responsible for the load times, combined with having to wait for the various 500 and 404 errors being thrown to complete. As for what could be causing this, I couldn’t say for certain but it could be a caching plugin issue? If your site is hosted I would ask support to please take a look and see what is going on.

To help explain it a bit clearer, please take a look at this Imgur link where I have captured some screenshots and provided descriptions.

I believe once the server side issues are resolved the page load speeds will increase.

Thanks
Steve

Thanks so much for your feedback, will follow up with these and see what I can do.

it is also very slow, desinstale all plugins except yours but it is slow too.
What could be the problem? your plugin? Others I tried were faster.
When will they get that speed boost?
