Slow loading
-
Hello!
Been using Lay Theme for a while and been pretty happy with it. I recently decided to change the presentation of my website and have smaller thumbnails which then could be enlarged by clicking on them. So I purchased the lightbox plugin for this, which works well. The only problem (and a pretty big one) is that the thumbnails load very slowly. See my website here: www.olelovold.com
What am I doing wrong here? Too many images on one page? Am I uploading them in too large a size (1600 px tall for retina displays)?

Dear @olelovold
in LayTheme settings you can chose if you want to use Lazyload or not.Have you seen that.
Also you can chose if you want to use compressed images or not.Have a look 😀

Hi Marius,
Thanks for the tips. I've tried both lazy-load and instaload, and I have tried compressing the images too. Still it takes forever to load the page, it's pretty much unusable in it's current state. The problem seems worse with Safari than with Chrome though. Any idea as to why?

Dear @olelovold
can you try to deactivate all the non-Lay plugins?Best!

Hi again! Yes, tried this too - still the same, unfortunately...

Hey,
Omg I see that sometimes the wrong version of an image is loaded.
Let me try to fix this and I will publish an update soon. -
Ok, so the right images were loaded, but yeah it is really slow because all images inside a lightbox are preloaded.
I just released an update for the lightbox plugin!
Please update your lightbox plugin. Now go to "lay options" -> "lightbox addon" and disable "Preload Images in Lightbox" -
Hi guys, thanks for trying to help.
In Safari, my pictures don't load at all. Using Chrome, the images do load, sporadically at first. Eventually all the pictures load, but it takes a while. So it's pretty unusable at the moment. I'm thinking I should just go back to the way I had the website before - big images (not using the lightbox plugin...), several pages with fewer pictures on each page.

Before you post:
- When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
- Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
- Disable all Plugins
- Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"
This often solves issues you might run into
When you post:
- Post a link to where the problem is
- Does the problem happen on Chrome, Firefox, Safari or iPhone or Android?
- If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it
