Galleria "flash of ugly" while images loads

Permalink
How can I hide this? A bunch of large images appear and overlap each other before sliding into place.

What is the url of your site? The Galleria should display a loading.gif image before anything else. Here's something to check that I've found to be a culprit sometimes.
In the footer.php file, check to be sure you are calling
<?php 
Loader::element('footer_required');
?>

I've noticed in the past that calling header_required by mistake instead of footer_required in the footer is usually the culprit when funky loading events occur.

Thank you for this info!

I don't even have this code in my footer at all! Now I have to look up what it's supposed to do... perhaps this is also responsible for my sluggish speeds?

Be sure that your header also contains
<?php
Loader::element('header_required');
?>

Calling this brings Concrete's native inclusion of jQuery into play so you do not have to load that again for the Galleria plugin. Make sure, however, that when you are calling Galleria, you don't call jQuery files yourself. This will result in errors and complications that could also potentially be the culprit.
