When anyone goes to www.arrowphotos.com the text on my page comes up first and after a bit of a delay, the images appear.

Is there a way to speed up the display of the images?

Thanks,
Charles

    Hey Charles,

    My site, along with many others seem to be loading fine. Your site (photos) do take a split second longer to load. It looks like you have CSS entered to round the corners of your images. So each time the page loads, the site has to load up the customized images. That would make it take a little longer to load the photos.

    If you have any questions or problems, please let us know.

    Cheers,

    Are you aware that when a viewer is viewing a gallery on your site that your menu bar is only half showing? I've seen this behavior on Chrome, Firefox, and IE11, running Windows 8.1. And yes, the window is scrolled to the top.

    I see. My bad, I had the top margin set to -8 instead of 8. It should look better now.
    Thanks!

    Nick,
    The only place where I could find CSS that rounded corners was on All Folders and for the SmugMug Gallery Thumbnails. I removed it for All Folders and the contents of the folders don't have the rounded corners. However, on the Homepage CSS there isn't anything about rounded corners and on the Homepage, the corners are still round.

    Where could the Homepage be inheriting the rounded corners for the content of the Galleries?

    Thanks,
    Charles

    Charles,
    It's part of the theme you use on your homepage. Themes can also contain custom CSS - check the bottom of the advanced tab when editing a theme.

    Sebastian,
    I applaud your knowledge on this. I would have never remembered putting the CSS there.

    Unfortunately, even though I removed the CSS, it has no effect on the delay. I removed all history on my browser, logged out of SmugMug and typed in the url for my homepage. The text comes up first and after a slight delay, the images.

    I have put "ARROW PHOTOS" at the top of the text just so the viewer can see that the right website was found.

    So, I guess we are back at the beginning of this thread...
