Speeding up my HP? NExtGen Gallery?

Hi all,

I have set up my homepage http://canyoningallgäu.de/ and it’s working rather well (Feedback welcome). Also try http://xn--canyoningallgu-iib.de/ in case the first one doesn’t work.

The thing is that I’d like now to speed things up, but I have a lot of pictures to handle. Is there a way to just show ONE picture with a play button, so when the users clicks it, then the rest is downloaded?

Because I am thinking that if I keep my site neet&small, google will rank me better and the download time when the play button has been pushed is rather acceptable.

What do you think? Or is there another way to do it? I’M using NextGen right now.

Thanks and Regards from autumn Germany
