Website problems

I have been having trouble adding GIFs to my website. I really liked how they looked as part of my gallery but the page kept crashing slowing down and pixelating the GIFs and at times forcing the site to glitch and then have to reload. Reading up about it I found that the site is trying to load all of them simultaneously and struggling. It was very discouraging as I had spend several days creating animations for that purpose. I then realised that if I spread them out over the pages of the site and only used one on each page they loaded almost instantly. I would have liked to include more on the gallery page but the gifs I have placed on the 'about me' page and 'contact' page have a strong impact standing out by themselves on a white background. I have been getting SLIGHTLY better at using after effects and have now want to create more GIFs specifically for the specific pages.

I have also been trimming down the number of illustrations in the gallery. At first when I was trying to populate the site I added some older illustration I was not all together happy with. I think by showing less the illustrations That remain have more impact.
