Is it the content? or is it the pictures?  How do I prevent slow loading times for my website?

i think the best way is you make your page in layers and put all images and multimedia content in layers. so first it will load all text and then it will load all media through layers and then it depends upon the net speed. but this assures that always your text will be loaded first and reader can start working with you page rather then waiting for big media to come and then text to come.\n\nalso one thing you can do with images is that using photoshop you can reduce the quality of images.. if it is 100% then just reduce it to 60%..it won't make big difference on naked eye but it will save lots of space and time to load.

How much data are we taliking about? If youre running low on disk space or ram, your actual hardware and/or software configuration settings could be preventing you from posting. If you post, try and keep it to a text only thing, maybe with some pictures. Dont select the whole website "select all" and paste, It might not work.

not bad..the site has some potential. The page ends, but there is allot of empty space at the bottom that needs to be gone, and added with time.\n\ntry to add some more site info and have them on a link-page available on the left hand side of your first page (home page)\n\nthe graphics that load up in the top of the page need to re-considered. see the first part of the page (where that large picture is ) is taking  up the "prime real-estate" of your website. \n\nthat space needs to be carefully thought of when applying anything to it. if you put in advertisements, then that cheapens the site. but a large picture like that is very slow on a dial-up connection.

use a proxy browser, it should work, occasionally the content is still blocked, but this is rare.  There are plenty out there, see the answers above me, or I recommend unipeak.com.  It has seemed to work best for allowing media to play with quicker load times.

The questions on answer.yahoo.com are answered by yahoo visitors not yahoo staff.  If you have an issue with the software, follow the help links.\n\nIt might be slow because your ISP connection is slow, because your computer is slow, or because Yahoo hasn't set enough servers up to handle the load.  If it's the third reason, I am sure Yahoo! would like to know about it.  Click on help in the upper right hand corner to resolve your issues.

Delete the History,temp internet files and cookies. Also clean the registry using a registry cleaner. This should speed up your PC.

Have you tried dumping your browser's cache, along with your temporary internet files? \n\nI don't know if this is even the right advice, but it HAS helped me when web pages started acting "funny" on me. I have not, however, run into the specific problem you mentioned. But hopefully you'll get to the bottom of it! :)

The first bit of advice I'll give you is to create a *much* simplified version of your site. Very few people are going to spend more than a few moments at your site when every single link leads to a 5-second flash animation. I got tired of waiting *very* quickly and I imagine other people will as well.

How fast images load in your browser depends on two things:  the speed of your Internet connection and how large the file size of the image is.  \n\nSince broadband Internet is so readily available now, a lot of designers have abandoned the age old art of shrinking files sizes and saving images in web formats.  The pictures look great but if you're still using a 56K modem it'll take forever to download.\n\nTo avoid this, make sure you use just the amount of pixels you need and a don't depend on the HTML image configuration to resize it for you.  Even though the image looks smaller the file size hasn't changed.\n\nAlso, you don't need 32-bit color on EVERY image.  If you're using Photoshop, use the option that lets you save images for web more often and pay attention to how long it'll take the image to download on a 56K modem.

This problem could be due to one of two sources:\n\n1)The Yahoo! server is malfunctioning in some way.\n\n2)There may currently be a large number of people connected to your ISP, and this may slow down or distort your viewing of web pages, especially if you have a 56k connection.\n\nThe first cause is the more likely source though.

Probebly from all the trafic their servers are trying to deal with... if you've ever downloaded something when 100 other people are downloading the same thing (in some sites) you may see a lag in time (it takes longer then usual to download the amount of Kilobytes then normal).\n\nIt also depends on your browser, my FireFox (with all the crazy security plug-in's and updates takes twice as long as IE to load pages with scripts/java/multimedia. \n\n;-)\n\nCheck your browser settings too.\n\n(But most likely I think it's how they programed their sites, and their lack of getting trafic to move faster through accessing data on their servers, but that's my personal opinoin).\n\nP.S. there is nothing wrong with your physical connection (not on your end, nothing is wrong on your end).

looks ok but you used way too many images to do what you could have done in html and css. even on this t1 line i'm using it took several seconds (about 10) to load. a person using dial up will hate you :)

Hi Jeane,\n  In my site listed below under Computer Talk there is a section that you may want to read called Optimizing your systems performance.  There you can learn to do all kinds of things to remove files/programs, and speed up your system. For a great picture viewer, that allows you to do some neat stuff and is free, search for a program called irfanview.  This will allow you to see pics in a slide show, create thumbnails of them, resize and rotate, and a whole lot more.  Hope this helps.

It's pretty good you've hit the 4 main points of creating a web page so that it will last..\n1- fast loading.\n2- didn't clutter it up with unessasary items or links.\n3- colors are easy on the eyes.\n4- all the links are working.\nHope your site does well..\ncheers.

That should be fast enough. Maybe you have spyware or a virus.

It's very possible that you have a virus, or spyware, or even more probable, a trojan.  Clean it out, and it should be faster.  Also try defragmenting the hard drive as well.
