    Do You Mind Checking

    Do you mind checking the loading times, I worry about the angels page.

    Thanks,

    Sharon

    hmm... A tiny pause, nothing major, well worth the wait though

    Only trouble is for those still on dial up, I can imagine the wait may be too long. I have a couple of similar pages to you but I didn't have any choice, you just hope it won't put people off.

          Why don't you split it up? Have a page 2, 3 etc, I would imagine this page is going to grow anyway no? That would help the loading times.

            Sorry!... I just noticed you already have split them up. Maybe not so many to a page? Also, you might want to put a 'Next Page >>>' link at the bottom of the pages, that's whay I didn't notice you had a page 2 at first.

              Hi Sharon,

              It loaded fine on my "56 bags of coal" African Dialup.

              You've cleaned it up nicely since my last visit.

              Cheers,
              Andrew

                Ok Ramsey, I will move some but I think it could be the music.
                Good to know Andrew thanks for checking. I would like to start the music on the front page and have it carry through out, I don't know how though. The front page doesn't have as much and they can shut it off if they want to.

                  There is a way of having the music keep playing when they change the page, however, I am not sure how, but I am certain someone did explain it at least once before on here. I am sure someone will answer that for you soon. If it loaded ok for our 'Beer' friend's dial up then maybe it's just my useless braodband Sharon.

                    Sharon,

                    Load times weren't too bad for me on cable. Everything looks nice. Just one thing- the drum scared the **** out of me. I started looking at all the nice writings and BAM! went the first drum beat.

                    As to the music playing while going from page to page. It must be done via an Iframe set up. I have made a tutorial here:


                    Keep up the good work.

                    Cheers-

                    Andy

                        Yes I did. Actually I have a copy of indian flute music and it is wonderful.

                        Take care.

                            Sharon,

                            I have cable internet as well and did get a pretty big pause when loading your angels.html page. I found a pretty cool site that does free page load analysis http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/. I used it for my site because there were times when it seemed to hiccup a little when loading. The total page size for angels.html is 785Kb which is quite large. For more details you can perform this query yourself. I find it provides some useful info including number and size of images, size of HTML and approximate download times at various speeds.
