Could not be more disappointed with Web module

Bob, does your Grid Gallery index page render properly in Safari on an iPhone? I can tap through Large Images OK when Safari on the iPhone opens with a Large Image's URL address, but switching to the index page causes problems. The page does not render and essentially freezes with only a few thumbnails visible. Tapping on a thumbnail does not load a Large Image. The index pages of a Classic Gallery, Square Gallery and Track Gallery (all with the same images) render properly on the iPhone. Again, the Grid Gallery index page does not.

Lightroom Classic 10.0

iOS 14.1

Hi Ian,

Interesting tone in your response, but I'll trust you're willing to assist so thank you for the response.
I am using the Grid Gallery Template native to the current version of Lightroom. Digging a little deeper and my experience is changing.

1. Loading the basic output sites locally still takes >20 seconds, but loading them on the web server now seems to render quickly on a desktop. I did clear my cache in Chrome, maybe that was a culprit? But this is a different experience than previous efforts.

2. However, the page does not render properly for me on iPhone/Safari - this is unusable.

I appreciate ideas on what I may be doing wrong here.

3. I've learned that any html code added to the metadata fields in light room or injected into index.html after the fact cause the entire page to render improperly. For example, a simple "h2" tag

yields this: http://www.57thstreet.net/testSite3/

EDIT: upon reviewing my post, for some reason although the numbnail is correct, when I try to load the second screenshot full screen, it loads the image above in full screen.  Here's a full screen view -> http://57thstreet.net/adobeSupport/pic1.jpg

This one I actually worked with Adobe support. This is disappointing, but I suppose not unreasonable. This was not the case previously, and what I liked so much about the flexibility. I could create a full site (including text) with Lightroom web module as a base. Again, dropping a simple "p" tag with a paragraph or so of text at the bottom of the .html file used to work fine.  I'm now looking into 3rd party photoblog services. I suppose these offer the commentary capability I'm looking for in each image, but could previously achieve with Lightroom web module and enough coding knowledge to be dangerous.

4. cmgap... I did take another swing at the Lightroom online galleries. I understand the sync, have synched to a specific collection, and by and large it works as advertised. I see the caption is truncated with the image but loads as it's own thing.  This is actually quite nice on large monitor desktop, but in mobile the caption replaces the image when you open it.  You've convinced me to spend some more time with it, thank you.

I suppose my only outstanding question is how I might troubleshoot item #2 - rendering a bare bones web module page on a standard iPhone safari browser.

Thanks everyone for responding.

I have tried, that experience feels clunky and non-intuitive. I recognize that's where Adobe is pushing, so I suppose I'll have to figure out some convoluted workflow in it that works for me.  I do digital transformation for a living - I get and embrace change.  But it is frustrating to have a component in a product (that I'm now paying monthly for) that simply doesn't work, and the repeated advice I get is "don't use that part of the product - do it a different way."  

Thanks for your response.  I'll take yet another swing at the cloud ecosystem.
