How to Optimize Gallery2

Tips & Tricks, Website & Internet  Add Comment

I installed the full package of Gallery2 last monday and got all the modules activated. I found out that my gallery was very very very slow :(

Today, I have disabled and deleted some unnecessary modules out of my gallery and it loads a lot faster than before. If you downloaded the full package, you don’t need all the modules in there. Make sure you only upload the necessary modules.

For me, I only use the following modules which I think necessary for my gallery:

  • Captcha - can help to prevent spam comments by bots.
  • URL Rewrite - usefull for friendly url for search engine, but only works with Apache.
  • Gd graphic toolkit - on the fly photo manipulation
  • Image Block - to show random, most viewed, or most recent photo outside your gallery.
  • Sitemap - can help to create sitemap for Google crawlers.
  • Comments - to give visitors the ability to post comments on albums or photos.

You can also enable some additional modules like ImageFrame, Slideshow & Watermark to add more feature into your gallery.
