June 25: I’ve been getting some feedback that the photos are downloading slowly. I made a few changes to the website to hopefully speed up the download speeds on your individual devices. As you can tell each album is now on its own website. I like this organization better plus I believe it will help minimally with download speed. I also enabled caching so once you view a picture once it should be a lot faster to download the second time if you want to re-view it.
The most dramatic change I’ve made is I have drastically reduced the file size of my pictures. This definitely should increase download speeds but sacrifices image quality. I have only reduced the image sizes for the most recent “Canyonlands” Album. I hope the images are still looking good. If the images are still looking good and it helps the download speeds I will continue to take this extra step before uploading them to the website.
Any feedback would be appreciated on whether these changes helped or if there is no noticeable change and if the image quality is still acceptable. Let me know.
