The Grid - Alternative

[flacnvinyl]

The Grid is pretty resource heavy. Is there a recommended super light plugin for displaying portfolios/galleries?

Hi There,

Did you try enable the caching system under the Global Settings?

Let us know how it goes!

[flacnvinyl]

Yes. Caching is not really the issue. It is just the plugin's code is pretty heavy. Turning off universal certainly helps on pages where it is not used, but I was curious if you all have a lighter version you like to recommend. We have built our own, but it is not drag/drop ready yet.

Hi @hatfieldmedia

I wonder if you have tried Essential Grid plugin?

Thanks.

[flacnvinyl]

Yes, but it offers even less options to reduce bloat and improve speed. It is natively a bit faster. Just curious about the absolute lightest plugin for galleries.

Hello @hatfieldmedia,

Thanks for updating the thread.

If you are looking for a fast Gallery plugin, then I think you can take a look at Envira Gallery plugin that comes bundled with X and Pro theme. It's lightweight, easy to use and does not has major impact on page load time. You can install Envira Gallery plugin from X/Pro > Validation > Extensions.

To get started with Envira Gallery, you can refer following documentations:

Extension - Envira Gallery

We'll mainly be focusing on how to use Envira Gallery and so may skip over some finer details. Note: This article covers only a small portion of what you can achieve with Envira Gallery, make sure you take a look at the official documentation which is linked to in the Documentation section below to explore the full possibilities …
