Pink Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 I just put a test site online and noticed that the pages containing a relatively large number of thumbnails, say 12 or more, were fairly slow loading. One solution which came to mind would be to limit the number of thumbnails per page, as I have seen often in various sites. However, I'm not sure how to go about this in osCommerce. If someone could steer me in the right direction I would be quite grateful. -Pink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryK Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Something else to consider: What are the size of your images? Are you using thumbnail images and big ones? Or are you letting your main image be resized down to a thumbnail? If the latter, you might want to look at uploading thumbnail images as well as your regular-sized images. There are contributions (such as Big Image) which will allow you to specify two or more separate images per product. If you don't have prepared thumbnail images, I believe there are contributions to handle the creation of those for you too. It would be well worth the effort to look into these. My thumbnail images range in size from 3-4k for the most part, so my pages load fairly quickly. If you're having osc handle the resizing, and using images that weigh in from 20k+ to begin with, you'll definitely see a difference by adding thumbnails.
