NextGEN Gallery Optimizer Now Discontinued
Due to the major breaking changes set to be introduced with the Gutenberg editor in WordPress v5.0, NextGEN Gallery Optimizer has now been discontinued.
Valid license holders for Optimizer Pro will continue to receive support if required, but the product has now been removed from sale, in preparation for the release.
I want to say a big thank you to everyone who's enjoyed using the plugin to optimize their sites over the last six and a half years, and wish you all the best for the future.
Kind regards,
Mark.
The essential add-on for the NextGEN Gallery WordPress plugin
Strip unused scripts
Speed up your site
NextGEN Gallery Optimizer improves your site's page load speed by preventing NextGEN's scripts & stylesheets from loading on pages without galleries.
What's more, if you're using the original NextGEN Gallery (v1.x.xx) or the NextCellent Gallery fork, Optimizer will intelligently fine-tune all your GALLERY pages too... detecting every shortcode and setting to only load what's necessary.

Why would you want a faster site?
Search rankings
Google uses page load time as a ranking factor. Better visibility in search will help drive you more visitors & customers.
Page views / Sales
Improving your page load times helps decrease bounce rates and increase page views / sales, especially on mobile devices.
Bandwidth costs
By not serving unnecessary files on every page load, you'll reduce your data transfer costs and improve server performance.
Want to go even faster?
Exclusive to Optimizer Pro...
Take control of your site.
Only load NextGEN’s code on gallery pages.
Optimizer’s NextGEN Gallery Deactivator substantially improves your site's page load speed on non-gallery pages, by excluding all of NextGEN's PHP code from being processed on the front-end of your site (except on pages you specify).
Have a page called "Gallery", perhaps? Simply enter it into the settings page, and it's the only place NextGEN will ever load outside the admin.
To test how effective Deactivator is, simply manually deactivate NextGEN on your Plugins page, and browse a few non-gallery pages on your site. Feel the difference? That's exactly the speed-up you'll get 24/7 with Deactivator (but unlike manual deactivation, your gallery pages will remain fully functional).
Especially effective when using NextGEN v2.0.xx, Deactivator also deactivates NextGEN Legacy (v.1.9.xx), the NextCellent Gallery fork, and will even deactivate the NextGEN Gallery Pro or Plus add-ons simultaneously (if installed alongside NextGEN 2.0).
