The bug

I’m having trouble accessing an album I’m trying to share. When I access the album while I’m logged in, it loads quickly. However, when I access the album using the link that is created from sharing, it takes a very long time to load and is not usable. This slowness is only present when accessing the shared link and has not appeared in any other use case. I’ve tried accessing the album from multiple devices, and all of them have been incredibly slow. It also doesn’t appear to be an internet connection issue as it occurs locally and is fast when logged in. I’ve updated to the latest version, but the issue existed prior to this version number and has persisted. Let me know if I can provide any other info to help!

Is it only slow with an album with many photos or also slow with an album with fewer photos? Let's say ten photos.

It seems to be able to do that without any issue. After playing around with it, I think it starts to happen right around 130 photos. Sometimes it will load a little less than that before stopping and other times a little more, but that seems to be about an average.

I am having this same issue. I have an album with 10,234 photos. When I'm logged in and accessing the album, performance is good (great even).

However when using the link it's incredibly slow. Using web inspector, I can see the time to load the thumbnails is consistently around 167ms when logged in and 9600ms when not logged in.
