I am mounting a gallery with photos stored in a amazon s3 server.
To purposes of speed, I don't want to load completely all of them once the client open the gallery.
There is any way to download only a miniature of the image or something like that?
(I'm working with php/symfony2/wordpress just for detail)
There are two ways you can add compression to your flow:
You cancompress server side before the picture is passed to the client.
Pro - Doesn't need extra storage
Con- Uses computing
You can compress once the picture is uploaded and store a thumbnail version and the high quality version.
Pro - Does not use computing every single time someone requests a picture
Con - would use slightly more storage
