No thumbnail use = slow homepage load

Hi Giri,

Yes I noticed they are background images and use lazy load… but it makes the page very sluggish, a lot of people have commented to us that it feels much slower since last week-end when we started featuring directory listings on the home page (we used to only have events and those images are all thumbnails, resized and delivered by Cloudinary).

On top of the sluggishness of the page, it pretty much kills mobile experience. Try loading our home page with an average 3G connection, one would move on to the next thing instead of waiting for the minute or more the images would take to load.

It might work with someone having 600px images, but if one uses the Supreme design with full width quality images for the parallax effect, in my opinion this solution is not workable.

How would I proceed to modify the short code [gd_listings] to always call the 300px wide thumbnail instead of the full featured image ?

Thanks for your help.

Best,
Marc
