I’m building a gallery from scratch that is rendered completely with Javascript/JQuery.

The gallery consists of ~70 photos. The gallery UI will just be previous and next buttons (no thumbnails).

In terms of performance (reduced load times), what is the best-practices way to load the images?

Here are the different techniques I’m considering:

  1. On page load, just load the first image, and preload the rest.

  2. When the user clicks the “next” button to request an image, use JS to create and append the image tag.

    I guess I’d probably load the current image, and 1 or 2 previous/next images. Then each time the next/previous buttons are clicked, load another image a couple placed ahead.

    This way you get a good user experience, and also reduce potential download.
