Web page crashes on mobile - html

Hello I'm new to web design,
I used twitters bootstrap to create a website. Everytime I try to load http://www.taekwondo.uwcs.co.uk/gallery.php on mobile (ios) the browser crashes (chrome) or runs very slowly on that page.
I was wondering how could I fix this issue (how to debug it). Do I have too many images on the page? Do I need to lower the quality of the images?
I'm using lazy loading the images using this plugin (http://www.appelsiini.net/projects/lazyload). Here is the html I have there are about 8 rows of images.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3">
<img class="img-responsive " src="images/load.gif" data-original="images/gallery/freshers/29.jpg" alt="">
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
<img class="img-responsive " src="images/load.gif" data-original="images/gallery/freshers/30.jpg" alt="">
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
<img class="img-responsive " src="images/load.gif" data-original="images/gallery/freshers/31.jpg" alt="">
</div>
</div> <!-- End of row -->
jQuery on the page
$(".img-responsive").lazyload();
Thanks in advance

The problem is that you load all the images at once because they are all in the viewport of the user if he opens the page. You should only load images which are currently visible for the user.
For that you can add a min-height (this is not the best solution for responsive websites) to your rows (e.g. min-height: 50px). A better solution is to load the first and maybe second row without lazy loading. The rest of the rows can be lazy loaded. Then the performance problem should be solved ;)
The second thing is, that I wouldn't use a jQuery plugin, because for a such tiny functionality like lazy loading you don't need such a big library which costs performance too.
I prefer a lightweight and more efficient plugin like justlazy. In the example you can see, that images are only loaded, if they are visible for the user. If you load your site, all images are loaded.
You can use justlazy as follows:
1. Define a placeholder:
<span data-src="path/to/image" data-alt="some alt text"
class="justlazy-placeholder">
</span>
Good at this solution is also that google don't index your load-gifs. If you want to seo optimize it, you can use an img with a small image as src-attribute instead of the span for the placeholder.
2. Register lazy loading via javascript
Justlazy.registerLazyLoadByClass("css-class");

Images do not show on Desktop, only mobile

I have a website that has multiple retailer images showing, and these are affiliate links. The issue I have is when I view on a desktop, even with cleared cache, cookies, and other browsers, I can see all retailer images, however when I am speaking with users of my site, they can not see images on desktop only mobile.
The website is www.yourshoppingcentre.co.uk
I have a used the same code through the site to make it easier to add more retailers in the future, and an example can be found here:
<div class="card" style="border: None; padding-top: 5px;">
<div class="thumbnail center well well-small text-center">
<!-- START ADVERTISER: Kelsey Media from awin.com -->
<a rel="sponsored" href="https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?s=3105047&v=19854&q=433993&r=1052665" target="blank">
<img src="images/advertisers/kelsey_media.jpg" >
</a>
<!-- END ADVERTISER: Kelsey Media from awin.com -->
<div class="card-body">
<div class="span12">
<div class="thumbnail center well well-small text-center">
<!-- <button class="btn btn-primary mb-2">Add to Favourites!</button> -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
One user has shown me a console screenshot where it shows the images have CSS of Display: None !important;
However again when inspecting the site myself I do not see this CSS and have no concept of how they are seeing this.
So I am guess I am asking a couple of things here, is this issue replicable, and secondly, if so, how to solve, as it is affects a subset and not all users is my understanding.
Appreciate any help!
Thanks!
It's blocked by your adblock probably.
You can see that in your inspect tool :
The images are being blocked by an ad blocker on desktop. If your users disable their ad blocker, the images will show on desktop.
To resolve this, you might consider changing the URL you're using for those images.
Specifically, it seems that uBlock Origin doesn't like advertisers being in the image url.

Using pagination with lots of similar HTML elements in the same file?

So I'm making a web app to run a small CTF that I will be hosting within my school, and I have developed a webpage that will load up the problems, my example right now lays out the problems in a long row
Here's how that's done:
<body class="main-body">
<div class="body">
<section class="content">
<div class="container-asdf"> <!-- This is a grid, assume that this particular element is repeated several times with changes -->
<div class="item-a">Test Problem</div>
<div class="item-b">Category: Test, Problem</div>
<div class="item-c"><button data-toggle="modal" data-target="#exampleModal" type="button" class="btn btn-info">Button</button></div>
</div>
</section>
</div>
</body>
(Full disclosure that this HTML is likely pretty bad, just working with what I know)
the div with class "container-asdf" is automatically generated for the amount of problems, assume it works perfectly and it generates say 50 problems, I only want 10 of them to appear on the page at a time and I want to separate them using pagination, without having to make a ton of different HTML pages, how exactly could I do this? I don't need code, just some concepts and guides of how I could. My first thought process was to put it in invisible containers and make it appear as you select different numbers, thus why I asked how to use pagination
In summary: I have a lot of elements(in the same HTML file) appearing on the page at once, I want to limit this and split it into pages without having to make multiple HTML files, I am using Flask/Jinja to generate said HTML file, if that helps.
Thanks for any help!
Not sure if this applies but have you considered using the easyPaginate jQuery plugin for the pagination? An example and setup is available here.

Website displaying images I removed from directory

Very new to this so sorry if this is dumb.
I'm trying to display images on a web page. The images show up fine, but when I update or make changes to the image, the older version persists. So, for example, I load an image, decide to swap it out for another one, remove the old image from my image folder, add the new one, but the old version of the image is what continues to show. I've found that if I rename the image I can get it to change, but I don't want to keep renaming my images "Icon4", "Icon7", etc. as that gets messy.
<div class="col-lg-4 col-sm-6 portfolio-item">
<div class="card h-100">
<img class="card-img-top" src="/static/img/cv_icon.png" alt="">
</div>
</div>
It's due to browser cache. Try adding a random number to the image url.
I assume your page is in php:
<img src="/static/img/cv_icon.png?rand=<?php echo rand(); ?>" />
If I'm right, what you're saying is that you change the content of the image(update the image) and when you check the website, it remains the same?
Well, what could be happening is that your browser might be saving it in cache memory so as long as it seems to be the same to the computer, it won't change anything. What you'll do is to delete your cache memory.

Images only display on initial loading of ASP.MVC page

In the _Layout.cshtml, I have a heading image and two link images that change into other images when the cursor hovers over them. When the page is loaded initially (e.g. //localhost:58055/), the images are shown. When I redirect through the links so that the URL is //localhost:58055/Home/Index, for instance, the images only show the little "broken image" icon. Why might this be? Here is where I specify the header's image in _Layout.cshtml.
<header>
<div class="trippy-title">
<img src="images/title_wider.jpg" width="100%" height="100%" repeat>
</div>
</header>
I recommend you read this article for a better understanding of locations in ASP.net.
http://www.west-wind.com/weblog/posts/2009/Dec/21/Making-Sense-of-ASPNET-Paths
as a simple solution you can use ~/images/title_wider.jpg this works with Razor 2+

How to load bootstrap thumbnail images

I've started using Bootstrap for a project, and in particular, the Thumbnails component. On the thumbnails example on the documentation, the following sample code is shown:
<ul class="thumbnails">
<li class="span4">
<a href="#" class="thumbnail">
<img data-src="holder.js/300x200" alt="">
</a>
</li>
...
</ul>
Notice the use of data-src to replace the usual src attribute on the <img> tag.
I assumed that to get my thumbnails working, I should use data-src instead of src for the images, but that does not seem to be the case. I've only been able to load images by defining the src attribute. It seems others are having the same problem.
Is this a typo in the documentation, or did I not understand correctly how to use data-src?
I believe that the only reason of why bootstrap guys are using data-src instead src, it's because of holder.js. You should use src instead of data-src because data-src is only used for the javascript library that generates the example images of a certain size, and src is the normal attribute for specifying the location of an image (Source: W3C)
Why are they using in the documentation data-src? I suppose that even the syntax <img src="holder.js/100x200"></img> is accepted by the library as it is in the holder.js documentation, when we access to the page it throws a 404 error in the image even when the image is displaying, because there is not any file in the specified path, what it's weird.
Why do they put that in the documentation code? I really don't know. Probably it's a mistake. But I am sure that you should use src instead data-src in thumbnails.
How to use it
Include holder.js in your HTML:
<script src="holder.js"></script>
Holder will then process all images with a specific src attribute, like this one:
<img src="holder.js/200x300">
The above tag will render as a placeholder 200 pixels wide and 300 pixels tall.
To avoid console 404 errors, you can use data-src instead of src.
Holder also includes support for themes, to help placeholders blend in with your layout. There are 6 default themes: sky, vine, lava, gray, industrial, and social. You can use them like this:
<img src="holder.js/200x300/industrial">
Bootstrap uses Holder for thumbnails in its documentation.
It's pretty well explained on the Holder github page.
Include holder.js in your HTML. Holder will then process all images with a specific src attribute... The tag will render as a placeholder. To avoid console 404 errors, you can use data-src instead of src.
In order for me to get this to work, I had to call the run() function in holder.
I am using require to load backbone views, inside my view I include holder
var Holder = require('holderjs');
Then inside render I can run
Holder.run();
And in my template I have
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6 col-md-4">
<div class="thumbnail">
<img data-src="holder.js/200x200/text:hello world">
<div class="caption">
<h3>Thumbnail label</h3>
<p>...</p>
<p>Button Button</p>
</div>
</div>
Hope that helps.
I couldn't figure it out either, as far as I understand it holder.js is actually a completely separate js file to act as an img placeholder from http://imsky.github.io/holder/
data-src is used to pass to the javascript, the /100x200 is the dimension of the picture you want the javascript 'holder.js' to take up for the real img.
I think the idea is to prototype using this (data-src="holder.js/300x200") and then replace it with sized pictures (src="Logo.png") afterwards.
For future Googlers looking for how to use with NPM/build jobs this worked in my case:
window.Holder = require('holderjs').default;
