Re-loading page headers?

[mackan]

Is there a way to avoid that my logo and menubar (that always looks the same) has to be loaded each time a new page is displyed? It slows down performance. Have a look at www.snickis.se (it's in Swedish but I don't think that metters)
Thanks,
Mats

It seems to be loading fine. There is a slight delay on the header area, but all the images seemed to be quite small in KB. You could maybe push the photo images a little smaller in KB, but I would watch for quality loss.
The only way you might get round having the top & menu bar stay static after the 1st load is to put the rest of all your pages in an ifram. I personally think this looks a lot neater for loading. But the SE’s wont like you very much. (So not a good idea).
Must admit I had your header & menu bar not come up at all on a couple of pages, but they did after a refresh.

Other than an I-frame - you could make your site using php this way:

Thanks for your input. Since I'm done with the site, I might as well stay with what I have. For the next one I will use the trick from Navaldesign that would definitly ease up things. In any case, it has been a great journey building this site from scratch and with no prior knowledge.
I'll be back.

Beth, I was checking your site A child´s place and I see that you have the same "problem" in that you links to the left is updated each time you click on something. Is this a BV issue or a general "browser" issue. I know there are plenty of sites where this doens't happen.
