    After reviewing the docs, I could find nothing regarding setting this up so that is runs efficiently and loads quickly. Sure, it is easy to set-up, but it would be beneficial to know what is the optimal original image sizes and configuration so the images will load quickly. I found that I would rather use the Gallery feature and tweak the CSS. It loads quickly out of the box without resizing my images.

    Any tips/tricks on setting up images and masonry in the backend would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks!

    Hey xyzb!

    There aren’t really any tricks to it. Using the smallest image size you can and having an initial load that works for you is the best thing you can do.

    Doing the normal WordPress optimization will also help as well.

    What is interesting, is if I use the Gallery setup with a colored background, it loads immediately without resizing my images. I believe someone else mentioned this in another post as well. My image sizes at the largest are 1200 X 1800. I’m loading no more than 8. I can certainly resize them down to 800 x 600. But again, the Gallery config loads them quickly without issue.

    Something is not right, don’t you think?

    Thanks

    Question:
    Are the thumbnails for gallery/masonry actually generated thumbnails which link to the full sized image, or are they just scaled down? YSlow flagged all of my images as being scaled down using HTML.

    I updated but that didn’t help things. I resized all my images to 800 x smaller it is loads them faster…. of course. The Gallery still dislays them faster either with original or resized images. Hopefully you guys can make some improvements to the masonry load times.

    Thanks much!
