Phoca Forum

I'm on limited bandwidth and hosting space. And wanted to ask.
I save the traffic using Phoca Gallery to display images from Google Picasa or not?
when compared with the same number of images but placed on my hosting.

ps. to minimize the use of resources should I write in the box "Enable Picasa Image Loading" no? https://www.phoca.cz/documents/2-phoca-g ... n_Settings
and Thumbnail images with Picasa does not host on my server? (I hope not because of lack of space)

Like its handled with thew Facebook Images, I don t think they are hosted on your page.

The only thing whats hosted is the ID of the pics and the related stuff to access it directly.


So no more traffic on server site in my opinion

Hi, if you are using Google Picasa, then no images are stored on server. All images are stored on Picasa. You can see the html code here:

Images are links directly to Picasa - they are loaded to visitor's browser from Picasa not from your server.

So yes, using Picasa feature you are saving traffic on your server.
