 * Hi Sayontan,
 * I noticed that the plugin takes a while to show the albums (~10s) and it’s slowing
   the website’s load time as a whole. When the plugin is disabled, the website 
   loads in less than 3s.
 * Sometimes, I get this error (cURL Error: failed to connect to accounts.google.
   com port 443 after 21114 ms: Couldn’t connect to server) when loading on iphone,
   which I can only assume it’s caused by time out. Are you able to find out what
   went wrong please?

 * Such problems occur due to connectivity issues between your host server (e.g.
   HostGator, Dreamhost, GoDaddy etc.) and Google. As such, it is not Photonic code
   that causes the delay, rather it is the process of your host making contact with
   Google and then receiving a response.
 * One thing that you can do is to use the [JS Load Mode](https://aquoid.com/plugins/photonic/optimization/#modes),
   which will let your host skip the contact and push it to the browser.
