Re: Showing up in a Google search
Hi ChessZen,
Thanks for the reply.
It's not picking any one page, seems like almost every page except my homepage shows up in a search.
I mention everything I do in my welcome message. I also have an old site with the same welcome message on the home page that still shows up higher than my Zenfolio pages. I just changed my welcome message but I really think I'm just not doing something else right.
Thanks again.

Re: For everyone that says the SEO for zen does not work well....
I second what Sarah says here. I was a wordpress user, but now switched to Zenfolio and the SEO work is easyer in Zen than in wordpress (even with the yeost plugin). also I getting better page rankings now and for "wedding photographer southampton" Im on page 2, in a very competitive area.
Yes you have to do some work but so what ? do you really want to trust some automated SEO that gets it wrong ?
If I put up a blog or a page, the SEO bit takes 5 mins extra, wooooooo!

Re: loading issues
Month after month...slow,slow,slow. Apparently not enough people are complaining for them to care. I wouldn't expect a fix soon.

Re: Website on a go slow
Yet again loading images and captions is taking forever. This is an on going problem with Zenfolio and seems to happen on a very regular basis. When are they going to invest some of our hard earned money in improving the systems and specifically the hardware. These problems are playing merry hell with my business...
Zenfolio Service Fee
Would Zenfolio be willing to review their service fees for UK-based self-fulfilling customers?
I already pay a hefty monthly subscription, but you're also charging a 7% service fee too. I appreciate Zenfolio have their costs too, but it seems entirely unfair that I'm paying 7% service fee, 3.4% PayPal fee plus the monthly subscription. Can we go back to scrapping the service fee for customers that do their own fulfilment and have to pay PayPal fees?
Is there a way we can vote on this? I do love zenfolio, but competition websites are offering far cheaper rates with the same features as the advanced plan. What's more, they're listening to their customers to make their sites better...

Pictures not loading.. again...
So, once again, old galleries are not loading, photos I just uploaded today are not loading, just lots of spinning circles. This is happening way too often here. Coincidentally, I have a notice that my account is up for renewal in the new two weeks. Remind me again why I should keep paying for this when the site keeps going down and nothing much seems to be being done about it?
No more prints for european customers?
I've just received an email telling me that Zen will no longer have a partnership with photobox so I will not be able to offer prints to my european clients! No explanation, no mention of future plans and only 4 weeks notice - having used Zen for 10 years I am about to lose about 50% of my sales.
Anyone knows what's going on?

Re: Is there any way to address issues that page speed insight says should fix
I agree the Zenfolio websites WILL suffer with slower speeds. However, ensure that you have optimized images on your home page. Avoid stuffing too many images there and only show your best work.
There isn't much you can do besides that.
Well, except go to Wordpress, ha.

Re: Is there any way to address issues that page speed insight says should fix
Yes. I'm here for the same issue. Google PageSpeed Insights gave me a big ding for render-blocking elements.
Re: Is there any way to address issues that page speed insight says should fix
Now it's 2019 and we have those same insights. My score is 11. I only have a few images on my page and they are completely optimized, there is nothing else I can do to get a better score. It's all on you, Zenfolio.
