Website loading slow

Permalink
Hi there,

Currently I am developing a website which can be found on:http://bouwbedrijfvanee.nl/. From my point of view the pages with an Image Gallery (see the pages in the pagelist on:http://bouwbedrijfvanee.nl/projecten/... ) are loading extremely slow. I am wondering what causes this. Is it the plugin I use:http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/thumb-gallery... or are the images to big (I guess not).

Maybe it is because of the webhosting, but I would like to rule that out. Once the site is ready for go live, it will be moved to another domain and another webhoster.

Hope someone can help me out here!

Kind regards,
Henco

Couple of things to help with page loading:

Add to .htaccess file; 
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
 ExpiresActive on
 ExpiresDefault  "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/x-icon   "access plus 1 week"
ExpiresByType image/gif    "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/png    "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg    "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/pdf    "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/x-javascript    "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType text/plain    "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType text/css   "access plus 1 month"
</IfModule>
<FilesMatch "\.(js|css|html|htm|php|xml)$">
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
</FilesMatch>

Although your images are quite good for weight you are still placing images on the home that are to big for the area, 1000px width would be better at about 320 to 480 wide.

Thanks for your reply! I will resize the images, so that they fit better. I also added the code in .htaccess.

What is your opinion on the loadtime of this page:http://bouwbedrijfvanee.nl/projecten/nieuwbouw-woning-kootwijkerbro... ?

Kind regards,
