Loading is SLOOOOOWWWW.

edited August 2013 in Hypershot Posts: 26
I'm really loving the Hypershot theme so far BUT, it is loading albums and images SO SLOW. I've tried it on different computers and it's the same. I know it's not my internet because I have 50Mbps down (and 11Mbps up). I am also recording visitors to my site with LuckyOrange and I can see that they are experiencing the same issues. Is there any suggestions on speeding up the loading time? I think people will bounce when they realize it's taking forever for the page to load.
Give it a try here and tell me what you think: http://www.viintage.com

Thanks,
Matt

    Hello

    I don't know if you checked what size of images you have uploaded but there are lot of images(20) that are more then 1MB. You have even two images that are 4.8MB, so please...
    Your front page is more then 60MB
    :-)

    I agree.
    Clean up this or you will kill any computer:-)

    Ok I understand. Alternatively, is there a way to disable the animation when the images are loading into the page on infinite scroll. I feel like that could help the page loading times. Thanks in advance for the info.

    Loading animations is only for visual effect, it has nothing to do with loading time of images. Keep your images in good files size and it will be OK.

    With regards.
