Topic: Image pre-loading

I like my images to be sharp - so the min quality setting I use is 80 in JB builder pro. The juicbox.js file is massive (163kb) and find the gallery a little slow to load on mobile devices

I want to know which image preloading is the fastest to load on mobile devices?

I currently use 'next' but am wondering if to try the other options such as 'all' or 'page'??

Thanks

Re: Image pre-loading

The best imagePreloading setting to use for the fastest gallery loading will be the one that preloads the fewest number of images, i.e. NONE (but the gallery will then have to load each main image as it is selected).

I currently use 'next' but am wondering if to try the other options such as 'all' or 'page'??

Take a look at the descriptions of the available imagePreloading settings in the Main Image Options section of the Config Options page. The actual speed at which the gallery initially loads will also depend on the speed of your web server, the speed of the user's internet connection and the filesizes of the images themselves so try different settings and see which works best for you.
