    Hello,

    First let me say, love the theme, great support, tons of features that I love.

    I’ve seen many posts about this so I’m just hoping for some good suggestions.I have about 100 images in a portfolio grid so it takes 15-30 seconds to load the page. I would like to have infinite scrolling or a “load more” button like the “Masonry Grid” but for portfolio items. I’m hoping this will help load times. If you know of other solutions to decrease load times, I’m happy to hear them.

    The following are some ideas I’ve been thinking about to solve the problem.

    1. I can’t lower the number of items shown and just add pagination because the sorting feature doesn’t work across multiple pages. It only sorts the items on the current page. If I could sort all items instead of just the ones shown on the current page, that would be great. Or if you can you recommend any portfolio grid plugins that would allow sorting across multiple pages..

    2. I’m setting up cloudflare to parrallelize downloads but I don’t think it will be enough. I’ve also decreased the size of all images by two thirds but it didn’t help. It doesn’t seem to be the size but the number of requests.

    3. I know that Enfold doesn’t offer infinite scrolling. So instead of using Enfold’s Portfolio Grid, could I install a “Portfolio Grid plugin” that has infinite scrolling, or is this dependent on the Enfold theme to work? (This would be my preferred solution if it’s possible)

    4. Could I tweak the Masonry Grid element to only show portfolio items instead of blog posts so I could get the “Load More” button?

    5. Could I just get a “Load More” button added to the “Portfolio Grid” instead of pagination? (This would be great if possible)

    6. Currently, the page won’t show anything until all images are loaded. Is there a way to make the images start appearing as they load instead of waiting 15 seconds to show anything at all?

    7. I’ve researched using sprites but this seems impossible with a responsive grid. Let me know if I’m wrong.

    8. Can you recommend any portfolio grid plugins that would a

    9. Lastly, is “Infinite scrolling” being considered for the future? If so, I can just wait :)

    I attached a link to the page that is loading slow.

    Thanks for your time and a great theme,
    Chris

    Hi Chris!

    please open separate tickets for different questions.

    1.) Your site is loading pretty fast for me. I would try to go for a plugin like this:
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/infinite-scroll/
    http://jetpack.me/support/infinite-scroll/

    In addition have a look at this post as well: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/tips-on-speeding-up-site-performance/#post-346077

    Hey there,

    i would find this feature (load more) very useful for portfolio.
    Especially because the pagination option does not work properly in combination with filters. The filter only filters current pages items.

    As the user voice for enfold seems down or offline, i would like to get a feedback on this here.

    Is it likely that you develop this?

    Hi,

    Thank you for using Enfold.

    There’s a load more button in the Masonry element. Have you tried that? You can select the portfolio entries taxonomy instead of the default posts to display your portfolio items.

    Best regards,
    Ismael
