Big Slideshow website built on Kirby 2.5.14…

Hi,
We’ve built this big one page slider based Portfolio with Kirby 2.5.14 with 124 images. Everything works fine except when the client adds a new image and then the first time the website load, it seems to crawl while creating responsive images.

  • Is there any solutions that these images process append in the back end instead of the front end?
  • is it a Kirby 2.5.14 behavior?
  • is it different with Kirby 3?

Many thanks,

Nicolas

Kirby 3 creates thumbs on the fly when they are requested, so yes, the behavior is different. In some cases it might still make sense to pre-generate the thumbs.

For Kirby 2, there was a plugin that allowed you to pre-generate thumbs via the Panel: GitHub - fabianmichael/kirby-imagekit: Asynchronous thumbnail creation and optimization for Kirby 2. Note that this plugin is archived and no longer supported (Kirby 2 is no longer supported either, it reached EOL at the end of last year)
