Thank you for reaching out! If the gallery loads but is slow to display, the most common reason is the size or number of images being used. Large image files can significantly impact loading times, even though the gallery itself is optimized for performance.
Optimize your images. Resize and compress the photos used in your gallery. Aim for web-friendly dimensions (e.g., 1200px on the longest side) and formats like JPEG or WebP with compression to reduce file size. Tools like TinyPNG or online image compressors can be very helpful.
Reduce the number of images. If your gallery contains a large number of photos, consider breaking it into smaller galleries or albums to improve performance.
Enable lazy loading. Check if your gallery plugin has a lazy-loading option. This ensures that only the visible images load initially, with others loading as users scroll.
Verify hosting performance. If your site is hosted on a shared server, high traffic or limited server resources can sometimes slow down loading. Upgrading to a faster hosting plan might help if this is a recurring issue.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, feel free to provide more details about your gallery settings and server environment, and we’ll assist you further!
