I’m trying to do 1-2 galleries every day or so. * I’m still behind on blogs 😛 * Thank you though, everyone, for your feedback – it is much appreciate.d * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [Travel Photo Blog](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/travel-photo-blog/) * Thread Starter [ericjonolsen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericjonolsen/) * (@ericjonolsen) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/travel-photo-blog/#post-5053775) * Update: I took your advice – optimized all photos (except opening screen) for web. Reduced JPEG export quality from 100 to 65, and set an export size that is equal for all images. * Made a HUGE difference in load time of galleries. * Thank you! * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [Travel Photo Blog](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/travel-photo-blog/) * Thread Starter [ericjonolsen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericjonolsen/) * (@ericjonolsen) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/travel-photo-blog/#post-5053771) * Miroslav, * Thank you again for your response! * I installed WP Super Cache, and that seems to be helping a bit. * I’m going to go in later tonight and re-upload all my images crunched down to… 1MB – or less? * Again, I am new to photography, and new to creating webpages (not new to blogging), so how would you suggest keeping the same width but varying height when exporting in Lightroom, or would you suggest I just crunch all my photos down to a specific size? * Thanks for your tips! * Eric * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [Travel Photo Blog](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/travel-photo-blog/) * Thread Starter [ericjonolsen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericjonolsen/) * (@ericjonolsen) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/travel-photo-blog/#post-5053769) * Miroslav, * Thanks for the feedback – weird that you are having that problem, but then again I have fibre coming into my house – perhaps that is why I have had no speed issues? * Come to think of it, the photos are not optimized for web – they are all 7MB photos size (exported from RAW and sized down in Lightroom), however, it was my understanding that WordPress further “crunched” the images? * Out of curiosity Miroslav, when you run a speed test on speedtest.net what is your download rate? * I did try the WP3 cache plugin, however, I found when accessing my site via mobile, I was given an error saying “too many redirects”. When I disabled the plugin, the mobile site worked. * I will look at alternate cache plugins. * Again, thank you for the feedback and I am definitely open to suggestions – I am new to this still! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [[Wiki?] How to incorporate Wiki Travel data into my blog](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wiki-how-to-incorporate-wiki-travel-data-into-my-blog/) * Thread Starter [ericjonolsen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericjonolsen/) * (@ericjonolsen) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wiki-how-to-incorporate-wiki-travel-data-into-my-blog/#post-5053764) * Disregard, * I have figured it out. * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [Travel Photo Blog](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/travel-photo-blog/) * Thread Starter [ericjonolsen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericjonolsen/) * (@ericjonolsen) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/travel-photo-blog/#post-5053763) * Hotelsilverton – * Thank you for the plugin recommendation! * Much appreciated 🙂 * Eric * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [Travel Photo Blog](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/travel-photo-blog/) * Thread Starter [ericjonolsen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericjonolsen/) * (@ericjonolsen) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/travel-photo-blog/#post-5053730) * Hotelsilverton, * Thanks much! Yes, I’m currently on a shared server at the moment, and I am uploading ~5GB worth of wiki data to a subdomain – perhaps that is causing slowness? * I have a feeling though it is because I am on a shared server, rather than a dedicated server. In time, that will be changed. * Thank you again! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [my website has Fatal error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/my-website-has-fatal-error/) * [ericjonolsen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericjonolsen/) * (@ericjonolsen) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/my-website-has-fatal-error/#post-5053615) * The site appears to be working now. By the way, amazing site! Are you using the “Story” wordpress theme? That is the theme I am using on my site – looks familiar! * Great work on the site 🙂 * _[ [Signature moderated](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Signatures)]_ Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total)
