    Hey guys,

    Can anyone help my figure out why the main section of this gallery page loads so slowly? It seems to wait for a second or two. It does load a javascript file but it's <40kb .

    The rest of the website doesn't have this delay before loading.

    Thanks

    At a guess, the thumbnails in the gallery are being dynamically generated from larger photos each time the page loads.

    This is an intensive task to do every time the page is viewed, you should see if you can make the thumbnails into static images using whatever script you have, or use another script that does this for you.

    Nope the thumbnails are static, not dynamically generated. It's a very basic gallery script, I upload the thumbnails when I upload my images. (.... old-school :cool:)

    Oh ok :pac:

    You could do a bit of PHP hackery and print the gettimeofday() at the start and end of the script to verify if the script is the culprit I guess...
