Sitemap
Well I think you should have it in your sitemap especially if your goal is to give the search engine things to index. The idea being without a sitemap sometimes things get skipped. Either way I am sure you can generate your sitemap just as you are generating static html files ;)
That's a really good point on the mobile version I honestly hadn't thought about that. It really does go back to demonstrate that helping others really can be beneficial :]
One thing I noticed, the page does take a while to load on my laptop [~45 seconds] but that's ok because I have some things on the page to look at while the rest load BUT those 2 hovering boxes, the X doesn't show up until the final images load, as a user I'd like to close those before the first 45 seconds if it is going to take time to load.
I also think that you are definitely lightening the load on your server but perhaps at too much expense of the user. Honestly sending out some info via an ajax request VS another page load is already saving a lot of server load.... but the way you are doing it simply loads the user up with too much info.... I can scarcely even imagine what it would take a dial-up user to view the site O_o
In fact now that i think about it... you are probably ADDING to the server load in a sense because you are loading everything whether or not a person views the galleries right? Sending out and calculating tons of hidden tags vs just sending an id for each gallery and having the server return only whatever gallery info is needed.
Put it this way imagine you have 100 images and hidden tag sets on your page.... if a person views 10 and is off to a sponsor you STILL sent out all the info for all 100 images. You are forcing your server in a sense to prepare for the worst case scenario but in the name of server resources. consider sending out a json request to the server with a hidden field containing nothing but a unique ID and returning the rest to jquery in json... in fact I notice that your images look like they have fairly unique IDs you dont even need 1 hidden field you could just send back the image query string.
I just checked it out your html would reduce from 435k to 128k if you get rid of your hidden fields.... that's dramatic even if you are gzipping it because it's not only a smaller download its also less time the browser needs to interpret what it needs to render or not.... Anyway just my $0.02 :p
Still think the site is stunning and a bit jealous of your visual aesthetics :]
If you ever start doing any fetish TGPs in the future btw hit me up :] I've just launched my paysites and am getting started myself too!
