Preload template for lightning spead

[carefree]

Is there a way to preload the template so it loads first , then the pictures??

The template in fact is only the HTML frame that your image gets embedded into, so it should always load faster than your image. Graphical resources within your template (banners etc.) should be cached by the visitor's browsers, so they should be there first as well.
I'm not sure what you mean - post more details. Posting a link to your gallery is almost mandatory if you have questions on themeing.

Basiclly preload everything first (including the thumb cells if possible) then the thumbnail images.

Users will leave the site even before the index page takes it time to load, even if the following pages are quick to load. And more users makes for slower loading.

I thought I would ask if there was a <!--function preload()--> script that was already availiable.

Otherwise ill work on sumthing

I have no idea what you're refering to nor how something could be preloaded. I suggest posting a link to your gallery for a start, so we can determine the actual performance of your page and possibly advice improvement suggestions.

Ok if you look at http://www.pichunter.com //warning adult content// youll see everything loads before the pictures and its fast.

Then take a look at http://www.freexxxhunters.com/all  //warning adult content//  the menu bar loads first then after 10 or seconds later everything else appears all at once.  Thats my mission is to load the template and the picture table and cells so it displays first then the pics last

Ive taken out radom pics and reduced the queries on mysql but a 10 second load is too long

Not sure if its possible with coppermine but just checking anyhow

Let me know what you think

The delay seems to be caused by your own custom javascript.
