Adobe Portfolio Integration w Lightroom: option(s) to reimport images to optimize site performance?

Hello. I have an Adobe Portfolio site that contains many (1000s) of images. All of the images on the site were populated via Lightroom CC integration. I would like to now optimize the performance of the site. To do so, I recognize that I need to reformat my images to lower resolutions. I also understand that I can export the images via Photoshop for optimal web viewing and then upload them into Portfolio. Given the large number of images that I have, however, this will be extremely time-consuming.

 

Is there another option, hopefully somewhat automated, that folks can suggest?

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

 

PS: I chose to use Portfolio rather than another platform, such as WordPress because I found the Lightroom integration very appealing.

Use Photoshop's Export As panel to optimize your JPGs for the web.  DO NOT use legacy Save For Web because it's outdated.  That's why it's called legacy. 

 

Reducing image quality and scale further reduces bandwidth which promotes faster loading web pages.  See screenshot.

Nancy, you didn't really answer my question. In fact, it doesn't even appear that you looked at my site. I have MANY albums (one per walk) and over 30K images. I recognize that I'm not using Portfolio (Behance) in the traditional fashion to show my "best images," but if there isn't a semi-automated method (script, batch export, etc.) available to leverage the Lightroom <-> Portfolio integration, then I'll probably look at an alternative platform.

P.S. A few days ago, I asked folks on Flickr for recommendations - https://flic.kr/p/2jt67bd

Start over.  Optimize your best images for the web.  Place them in a new dedicated web Album.  The Lightroom import limit is 500 images per album.  See links below.
