Page Speed Impact

LOW

The module has very little impact on page speed because the images are lazy loaded.

MEDIUM

If used above the fold, loading images will increase page load time.

Using an image or video background can impact page speed, especially if not optimized.

TIPS

Convert images to WebP where possible to meet criteria to serve images in next-gen format.

To reduce image file sizes without losing quality, use TinyPNG to compress your images (JPG, PNG, WebP).

FAQ

Can the year and title be on a separate line in the timeline?

You can add a line break using the HTML tag in the Title to separate the year and text.

Layout → Intro Width

This allows you to control the width of the text, with two choices: Narrow or Default.

The module is set to "Narrow" when you add it to the page (this was the original layout prior to adding this choice as a setting). Narrow limits the width of the section text (intro to title, title, and description) within the section.

"Default" allows the text to fill the width of the module; the width is dependent on whether the section is set to "content width" or "full width" in the section settings.
