 * Hi,
    I am using the free envira gallery plugin on a website for a photographer.
   [http://www.akemihoshi.com](http://www.akemihoshi.com) However when loading the
   pages, there are always black squares instead of the images for a little while
   until the page loads completely. The image sizes are small and I have played 
   around with the config settings of the plugin but I am not figuring out how to
   make the pages load faster. Can you please help? Thank you!! Emilia

 * Hi [@anemi09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anemi09/) 🙂
 * That black is coming from a background color set on the div that holds the images.
 *     ```
       .envira-gallery-wrap .envira-gallery-item-inner {
           background-color: #000 !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * While the page is still loading – it brings in all the HTML and CSS (the background
   color) and loads the divs last.
 * You can either use some js to fade in the gallery after the page loads or just
   remove the CSS you have that sets that background color (shown above).
 * Please let me know if that helps 🙂
 * Thanks
