Hi @MrShemek
When getting the gallery field’s value, ACF will format it. This means it will load all the image data for each image – resulting in the longer load time.
You should make use of the 3rd parameter for the get_field function which disables the formatting of a value:
get_field('companyImages', false, false);
This will load only the DB value without formatting and will return an array of attachment IDs
Cheers
