Lazy loading basically makes it so pictures only load once the browser scrolls to them (instead of everything loading all at once along with the page)! if you have a ton of images (like I do in my galleries), it lessens the browser load a lot!

Heya there! I just checked your gallery and gosh- your art style is so surreal and cool!! It’s sci-fi under a different coat of paint, and I really dig it! Keep up the superb work there! ✨⚡️

Oh, I- Gosh, thank you so much!! This means a whole lot to me, I've been putting a lot of heart into every bit of my page, and it couldn't be more gratifying! :'] And btw, there's a LOT more I still wanna add art-wise-

Ohoh, I found the culprits of the slow loading times >:] First, the JS preload code was broken (and had to grab another one somewhere, which worked!), and the BG was unnecessarily heavy data-wise. I'm surprised with how compressing the file made it load much faster! WOO!! ⚡

Oh god what's that green goo leaking from the ceiling? Isn't that a health hazard for your visitors?

Oh, that's paint! Definitely paint :] All of my pigments are made inside the lab, with the brightest ones involving quite... unusual sources. But don't think too hard on them lol, nothing too bizarre happened because of them... yet.

Phew, I worked a lot today! I finished painting a bunch of pipes I wanted to add to the top part of the page, painted the tea panel, redid the fun fact panel and added a visitor counter! ^^ I might add the missing textures to the other panels later...

Also wow- even the guestbook has a weird-looking thumbnail here... I fixed it to hold images and replies properly! And lastly, I managed to FINALLY get my enter button to play the reversed animation with JS!! I'm so happy aaa-

Ok, I might've figured out a way to preload the images... though I'm not sure if it worked. Can you guys give me some feedback if anything changed speed-wise? :7

Edit: things are loading a bit faster now! Not immediately, but it's better than before. I'll see how many other assets I'll manage to finish for this page today ;]

It’s definitely loading cleaner now! For me before, the boxes and images would kinda jump around but now it’s not

@fabulouskilljoys Oh, I'm glad to hear that! I also realized the js code I was using was broken! I found another one to replace it :P

Ok, NOW I think I'm satisfied with the layout... cause yep, I messed with the grids again, and had to divide a bunch of rows to have more control over the divs' position. The best part is that now the space is better distributed, and everything looks and feels more compact :P I also added an extra button today!

And btw- I'm still trying to figure out how to preload the background images :'T I've already tried to use the body::after type of code, but it didn't work. Do you guys have any ideas?
Heya there! I'm just passing by to appreciate how intriguing your animation works are... for real, I truly dig how they have this surreal horror type of vibe, while talking about introspective dramas and struggles that become a lot more powerful in the visual medium! Definitely very unique and inspiring! Wish you all the best on your future projects, and stay weird n' creative! :]

Oh wow, that's truly neat! :0 I'll definitely think about adding lazy loading to my gallery, it's gonna help a lot with the loading times (besides preloading n' stuff)! Thank you so much for the explanation, Guilda! ^^
I'm super glad to help!! This is the code I used as a base for mine: https://codepen.io/imagekit_io/pen/MBNwKB (also, having art images be .webp is also a godsend! with both of these things I'm praying nobody ever has issues with my galleries again KJHSFMKLA)
oh, i'd heard about it but didn't really look into it. i should do that, thank you!
