Opera on Windows Slow Performance on Image Heavy Websites?

Hi everyone,

I’ve noticed that Opera on my Windows PC sometimes struggles a bit when loading image-heavy or gallery-based websites. Pages with large visuals, detailed service sections, or multiple media elements tend to feel slightly laggy compared to simpler sites.

For example, when browsing sites with detailed project galleries like metal fabrication or construction showcases (such as https://share.google/c0QNVA4fsFVtDhgDv), scrolling and initial loading can occasionally feel delayed.

I’m trying to figure out whether this is related to Opera settings, caching, hardware acceleration, or something else.

Are there specific Opera settings you recommend adjusting for better performance on Windows? Do features like built-in ad blocker, hardware acceleration, or any particular flags make a noticeable difference?

Would appreciate hearing how others have optimized Opera for smoother performance.

Thanks!

@seos32 Do you have other examples other than that page you are spamming?
