X3Photo Gallery Forums

When you say "first picture", you mean in the slideshow? The question is: How large (file size) are the images you have uploaded there? There is already a "preloader icon" in the slideshow. The amount of time it takes to load the images, is 100% relative to the original file size, and the speed of your mobile device connection.

What is the link so I can take a look? Does the first picture load slow on mobile also in our demo gallery?

First of all, I checked your website from mobile here, and it loaded instantly ... Also the first image. Perhaps everything loaded within 1-2 seconds. When tested from Pingdom, the website loads at 2.92 seconds, and has a score A 95:

There is nothing wrong with loading on mobile ... You should probably try again. Keep in mind, the FIRST time you view newly uploaded images (from another device), your server will need to resize the images for the first time before storing the image in the X3 image cache. Therefore, images load slower when visiting  pages with new images. Also, image-sizes loaded on mobile are different from image-sizes loaded on desktop, and therefore, will need to get processed separately on server when visited first time on mobile.

HOWEVER, I am wondering, if you are doing evaluation, why are you using the very very old X3 0.15? We are currently on X3 0.22, and specifically X3 0.18 had a lot of speed improvements. You really should be using a new version of X3, which has improved tremendously since your X3 0.15.

I would just use the default UPGRADE procedure, and then you will have to amend a few things (which should be fine since the website is clearly under development):

Upgrade

• Download from same link as before, either x3.latest.zip or x3.latest.nocontent.zip. It is recommended to download the "nocontent" version if you are upgrading, as this does not contain all the sample content.
• Unpack the downloaded Zip file.
• Upload everything EXCEPT /content/ and /config/, overwriting existing files.
• Remember to update the root .htaccess file, as this is required for for the audio player and a few other things.

Post here after you have upgraded, and there may be a few small things to fix.

What is the link? The link you provided earlier still shows X3 version 0.15.

Thanks. Please can you send me login to the panel per private message so I can take a look?
