Hello o wise programming warriors!

If anyone has a spare minute, I'd really appreciate it if you could take a look at this site: www.gomanfoods.com.au and let me know if there's a magic trick to make it load faster? At the moment it's very clunky.

It's made up of a LOT of images which need to be kept, so I'm not expecting a miracle, but then again, if you don't ask you won't receive eh!

Cheers,
Sissy

  • Loading pretty quick for me.
  • The load time seems fine to me.

    You can check your page loading speed Pingdom Tools - it will display the load time for all the individual elements so you can see which ones (graphics for example) are causing the greatest delay.

  • I'd reduce the main jpg filesize from its current 114 KB file size to something smaller.

  • All of the files and images (including HTML) on that page are 154.46 KB total (according to: Cogah - Webpage Size And Speed Test).

    So that's fine for broadband. I'd imagine your internet connection - or your host's bandwidth - is a bit slow if you are experiencing slow loading times.

  • The site loads just fine for me!

    You maybe could optimize the images a bit, but you might save a second or 2 off the load time, and then you have to ask :

    "Is 1-2 seconds of load time a worthwhile usage of my time??

    Take care

    • Totally agree Bruce. I can't justify spending that time for only 1-2 seconds of benefit. If it's loading fine for you and everyone else whose replied, the problem's obviously at my end!

  • Seems to load ok for me, but if your concerned about images sizes there's 1 thing that will make some difference:

    Yahoo Smush it image tool

    • Aaahhh, you're all wonderful! Glad it's loading fine for you all, I've been meaning to upgrade my computer & broadband plan for a while now, seems like I have a good enough reason to do both now.
      Thanks so much for all of your sage advice.

      Cheers,

  • i think because u design the page background with multiple slices images, then it will be loaded a bit slower when displaying the images.

    I will suggest to use 1 background image to display the website page Hope it help!
