with a high percentage of users viewing all the photos at once. Shows how much I know!

I think the comments about screen size are pertinent too, my smugmug account registers the viewing screen size of visitors and honestly I don't know how the site comes across on a small screen, I have a 30 inch monitor. I try now to standardize all my photos to 6048 x 4024, native for my Z.

Regarding speed, I have two networks, Spectrum is 375mbps down and 8.3 mbps up. Frontier is 101mpbs down and 113mbps up so speed problems are nonexistent for me.
