Hi Guys,

I Would appreciate advice on if I am doing something wrong.

My web page is taking a very long time to load Gallery (only a few photos).

My URL is :

http://www.mywebsite.com/photos/index.html

Gallery Stats:

Version: 3.0.9 (Chartres)
Albums: 1
Photos: 6

Server stats:
Operating system: Linux 2.6.32-042stab078.27
Apache: Apache/2.2.11 (Unix)
PHP: 5.3.3
MySQL: 5.0.83-community
Server load: 1.63 1.49 1.52
Graphics toolkit: gd

I don't want to give up on Gallery so any help or tips on how to speed this up would be appreciated !

Many Thanks
Dan

Your server seems a bit slow.

I ran a speed test on the server and it appears to be running pretty fast :

"The web page took 1.72 s to load, used 19 requests, and weighed in at 437.2 kB.

The Google Page Speed performance grade for this web page is 73/100

The delay seems to be around the jQuery call.

Is there anything I can do to speed this up ?

Regards,
Dan

You can use the combined is instead. It already contains jQuery.

Suprsidr - Thank you for all your time & patience ! :)

I am sorry I don't understand your last comment about using combined is instead.

Kind Regards,

instead of referencing all the separate javascript files, you can reference the combined instead:
<script src="/code/g3.rest.combined.js"></script>
it includes everything you need including jQuery

Thanks Suprsidr -I tried the g3.rest.combined.js , but the loading speed is the same , the delay seems to be around the jQuery call :(
