slow loading page-need help
 

i've been told our index page loads real slow, even on asdl
, also looking for way's to make it faster without having to change the look/layout too much !

AdultWebmasterWorld

ASP?

PHP?

loaded ok for me,

shemp

g33k ?

thank's Shemp :winkwink:

it loads fine for me as well but lately a few ppl have contacted me
saying all they get is a grey background and that it takes a long time to load.

Loaded slow for me, I would guess the CSS may be the problem, or perhaps the tables (tables dont get rendered until it reaches /table, and the whole thing is a big table, so that may cause it).

somewhat slow here too

Quick on this end

I thought this was just a cleverly camoflaged spam, it's slower death.

Loaded fast here

It seemed pretty good here kevin. Took about 2 seconds.

yea make sure to include your spam signature when you call someone on spam?

about 12 seconds on my DSL

i dont get it... some light blue boards cant even be linked from here without being http://s********-********.com yet some can do a "my page is too slow try it for me" thread? LOL

it loads fast, but everything appears in screen only when almost 100% of the page is loaded. The dialup webmasters won't like it.

Had some problems loading it from Holland.
Looked at a blank screen for 4 secs.

Extremely slow, just a gray background for at least 5 seconds here.

I copied your source into Dreamweaver and you seem to have some bad tags that either aren't closed or something. You should validate the html to start with.

ditto on
adsl

It just seems like it's taking a while to render the page.. that's all. It's loading in a quick enough time.. it's just that it seems nothing is happening for a while, then all of a sudden the entire thing is loaded. odd...

Maybe because the whole page is inside of one table big table? You could try putting the logo and the top menu buttons in their own tables to see if they would render while the rest of the page is downloading? I don't know. Where are all the design gurus tonight?

tables shouldn't be the issue. it's only 34k of html to download.

i tried using IE5's little "Save As.." command that usually will grab a browsable copy of the page locally (i do this to examine how big a page is, graphics and all) and i keep getting "not enough memory to download this page"

something is fucked. but the page loaded decent on my DSL, and it looks pleasant.

if i had of wrote a longer answer that would have been the thing i was looking at saying ;)

that's my point !

i'm told it can take up to 25seconds for a first time visitore,
don't think too many webmasters are prepaired to wait that long


:(

As a test, try removing some of the external files that it looks for.

Like this javascript link:
banners/index/120x60_4.js

And this CSS link:
templates/subSilver/formIE.css

Then see how it loads.

From this end on ADSL it wasn't toooo slow but did seem it. Main problem for me as has already been pointed out is that it loaded all the page before displaying. People are used to getting things start to pop up quickly.

yeah i doubt it takes any longer than normal, just psychologically it seems to take longer because things aren't loading one by one.

Wow, 4-5 seconds of grey, then *BAM*! Get everything out of that big table and keep all tables separate. People will see a table at a time that-a-way.
