The time to create the html and the loadtime of the page for a slidehow is dependant of the amount of data per slide, the number of slides per slideshow, and the number of db queries per slide.
To reduce the number of slides, set the slideshow pagesize ( Table I-B8 ) as low as is acceptable for your application. For 10 slideshows, keep it in any case equal or lower than 25. One can always click on the next page icon.
To reduce the amount of data per slide:
Switch the rating system and the comment system off in Table II-B7 and Table II-B10 if you do not really need it.
This is important: Do NOT link slides to lightbox (Table VI-B) unless you really want this; if you really need lightbox on slides, try to avoid photo description (Table II-G8) and rating (Table II-G21) on lightbox.
To reduce the number of queries per slide:
Switch the rating system and the comment system off in Table II-B7 and Table II-B10 if you do not really need it.
If you do not really need to use IPTC and/or EXIF data, switch it off, and do not use E#… and 2#… keywords in descriptions if you display photo descriptions (Table II-B6).
If you can without all the metadata as described above for this page only, but you do not want to disable one or more of the items systemwide, you can use inline settings on this page to overrule systemwide settings. How to do that is described here: http://wppa.nl/docs-by-subject/in-line-settings/ (You will need to register for this doc page).
PS. Do NOT use a lazy load plugin, it will make things worse.
Hi,
Thanks for your complete answer, but after doing this things nothing didn’t change!
when I get the speed of loading page, it take 5 seconds to load all contents include loading images for albums without content of albums, and 50 seconds for load albums contents!
Can i get a link to the page?
It is indeed extremely slow. I have set up something alike (apart from a few layout issues) :
http://beta.opajaap.nl/en/array-of-slideshows/
Try this:
– Untick Table I-B13.2: Start/stop icons
– Untick Table IV-A9.1: Track viewcounts
This should speed up the initial display.
There is a way to make the slideshow timeouts random, so that not all shows get a new image at the same time. For info: read: http://wppa.nl/docs-by-subject/slideshow-array/
Can you give me the page content part that makes the slideshows? Enter here between backticks (code)
I noticed the following during building up the page:
There are various .svg icons like Pause-Button.svg, Play-Button.svg, Exit.svg, Full-Screen.svg but they are loaded hundreds of times. You should have only one load of Exit.svg and Full-Screen.svg, and one Play- and one Pause- button per slideshow.
It looks to me that this is the cause of the extremely slow page build-up.
The .svg icons are immediately after load converted to <svg> tags. Maybe you have some kind of ‘optimizing’ mechanism working that ‘infinitely’ re-tries the load of the .svg icons.
Could you please try de-activating any plugin that you might suspect of this, and tick the box in Table IX-A3; this will enable me to better troubelshooting.
It work!
after disabling this:
– Untick Table I-B13.2: Start/stop icons
– Untick Table IV-A9.1: Track viewcounts
now is awesome.
Thank you milion times 🙂
Hi,
again I have same problem, every thing related to the plugin (all my slideshows) are slow (long time to load) 🙁
please take a look at link below:
