    15 Most fancy gallery plugins will add their gallery manager on top of WordPress, which already has one… Then, they will crop images to fit within their fancy layout. Unfortunately, if you are an artist, the way you composed and framed your picture is no accident and should be honored by whatever display system you use. After all that, they will add an awful bloat of jQuery madness that will put a hole in your [Page Speed](https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/) score and kill your [loading time](https://tools.pingdom.com/). Finally, they will distract visitors from your content with all their fancy effects that make your CPU overheat for nothing.

    19 Photographers galleries extends native WordPress galleries with EXIF support and taxonomies, and uses native browser technologies (CSS and HTML), with only a bit of native Javascript to extend them (no additional lib, no jQuery dependency). This ensures fast loading, fast execution, and will take advantage of hardware-accelerated animations, which happen to be more energy-efficient. It also loads minified CSS and Javascript, only on the pages that actually make use of galleries. It's fast, minimalist, simple, robust, and good for your SEO (which is now a factor in [Google Page Rank](https://tools.pingdom.com/)).
     21Photographers galleries extends native WordPress galleries with EXIF support and taxonomies, and make them query-able to display truly dynamic galleries. It uses 90% of built-in browser technologies (pure CSS and HTML), with only a bit of native Javascript to extend them (no jQuery or additional lib dependency). This ensures fast loading, fast execution, and will take advantage of hardware-accelerated animations. Overall, you get carousels and exhibitions with a small performance footprint, which is more energy-efficient but also snappier nd better looking than full-on Javascript animations.

     23For performance, it loads minified CSS and Javascript, only on the pages that actually make use of galleries (auto-detected). It's fast, minimalist, simple, robust, and good for your SEO (which is now a factor in [Google Page Rank](https://tools.pingdom.com/)).

    2125The look is inspired by art books and museums exhibitions, meant to allow a flawless and non-intrusive full-screen experience, so you can design your website as a webapp.

    8790Exhibitions are a new mode of the 1.0 that enables a full-width and full-height experience with a framing look reproducing museum framings. They come in-place of usual lightboxes and gives your pictures maximal impact with minimal clutter, assuming you will use them in a full-width theme template. They support keyboard arrow keys interactions, as well as horizontal scrolling and click/tap on the buttons.
     91
     92Exhibitions preload the next and previous images in row while looking at the current one, so the transition between images feels immediate and most lags are prevented.
