Hi,
I’m using several types of Visual Composer-grids on my Newspaper-homepage for showcasing products and topics. Before displaying the actual picture/thumb, there is a grey-coloured area which irritates some users. It’s really annoying and it’s always happening – doesn’t matter if I have a large grid with 10+ thumbs or just one with two thumbs. Is there a chance to minimize or shut off these effects (which is probably due to loading times of the thumbs)?
Hints appreciated.
Hello,
You can change the style of the grid and chose a static one (no animation) http://screencast.com/t/ioMnsGDKbg. Try it and see if it fixes your problem. If not, please provide a link to your website so we can take a look.
Than you!
Hi Bogdan,
thanks for quick reply. That seems true for some grid types like “Post Grid” but not for “Big Grid” type 1 to 8. Right? Examples can be found here: http://www.odufroehliche.de
Thanks

Hello Petra,
It is true. For the big grids to fill with images faster you need to tinker a bit with the page speed.
Try to follow our tutorial here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Another thing you can try is to disable lazy load from the theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/uI82jAjFgqA
Unfortunately, there is only so much you can do to reduce the delay time for the images. If you check our demo, you can see that it has a delay time also on the big grid: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
Another thing you can do is remove the grey background color if you want by using this custom css:
td-big-grid-post .td-module-thumb {
background-color: rgba(229, 229, 229, 0);
Place it in the theme pane;->custom CCS box
Thank you!
