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.
Is there any way to address issues that page speed insight says should fix
when running my site through page speed insight it show a few areas that they suggest should be addressed but it appears all these issues are beyond us zenfolio users control and can only be fixed by zenfolio
issue 1 should fix
Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content
Your page has 1 blocking script resources and 3 blocking CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page.
None of the above-the-fold content on your page could be rendered without waiting for the following resources to load. Try to defer or asynchronously load blocking resources, or inline the critical portions of those resources directly in the HTML.
Remove render-blocking JavaScript:
http://cdn.zenfolio.net/…phone/ios/83PR713DM9TCS/compactlayout.js
Optimize CSS Delivery of the following:
http://cdn.zenfolio.net/…K8W/2GBW4/2/857261778/custom/compact.css
http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Special+Elite
http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Special+Elite
then it also says consider fixing
Leverage browser caching
Reduce server response time
Prioritize visible content
Minify JavaScript
Minify HTML
Optimize images
and with the way google now wants to use performance in the way they weigh the indexing of sites these seem important

Re: SITE IS SLOW to render thumbnails AGAIN!
Direct links do not work either. I think it is time to look at alternatives, most likely Smugmug.

Re: SITE IS SLOW to render thumbnails AGAIN!
It's gotten completely ridiculous - and I don't say this lightly - I've supported ZF since their beginnings, and stayed with them for all these years. My previous custom site design used to be a featured page for them. Things were good.
Today I have a sales presentation, and I can't show them my website. I'm going to lose the job because I look like a fool to the client. Their incompetence is costing me money - I am leaving ZF for good now. My not-going-to-renewal is up in December so I have time to port over to a stable platform.
It's going to be looking like My Space over at ZF HQ very soon.
